I love the extra daylight at the end of the day as a result of changing our clocks this weekend, but I’m discombobulated at the same time. I know my sleep schedule will catch...

Happy March. If it comes in like a lamb, will it go out like a lion? Or is spring just going to come in nice and early this year? I’m hoping for the latter....

Edgartown: M.V. Film Center, Senior Dinner, Neighborhood Convention, and ice skating

Our crocuses are blooming! Does this mean spring is arriving early? Hopefully they know what they are doing. It’s lovely to see them and the snow drops and hear the birds singing. I know...

Edgartown: Winter beauty, Family Center, Bodhi Path, piano concert, and Hula Flow

Well, we finally got our winter storm. Much as I don’t like snow, it does look pretty out the back windows. And I went outside the other night, and the trees had all this...

Edgartown: The Attic, Little House Café, Town MV, and Bunch of Grapes

Happy mid-February. As I write this, it’s Super Bowl Sunday. When I was in college, we always went back to school on Super Bowl Sunday. In January. Now it’s just about halfway through February....

Edgartown: A new Island mystery

Happy February. I saw a little sun today. It wasn’t for long, and it wasn’t overly bright, and a chill came with it, but I’ll take it. As I write, there is still some...

Edgartown: Island Alpaca, library fundraiser, ballroom dancing, and ‘The Wisdom of Trauma’

It’s still January, as I write. It seems like such a long month. I’d love to see some sunshine. I love the warmer weather we’ve been having over the past week, but it came...

As I sat down to write my column, I was happy to see that Thursday is Jan. 25. Not that it’s a special day, but it means that January is almost over. One winter...

Edgartown: Fitness, Barn Buddies, Community Suppers, scavenger hunt, and Life Review

0
I’ve got the January blues. Is that a thing? In reality, I think I’m just feeling the post-holiday slowdown. Riley has returned to base. Amelia has not yet returned from Australia. The weather is...

Edgartown: Clothing swap, Community Chess, Misty Meadows, and quilting

0
I’m sitting here writing watching the rain outside my windows and the snow at the Patriots game. January is definitely here. And my boy went back to Arizona this weekend, so between that and...

Edgartown: Activities for kids, making a journal, Family Center, and seafood workshop

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year celebration, if you celebrated. After years of staying home, we actually went out for a little while on New Year’s Eve....

Edgartown: Mothers’ Circle, Interpsychic Rapport, and Lobsterville Beach cleanup

0
I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas. I struggled a bit myself. With one of my kids away for the holiday, it was smaller and less traditional than usual. Fewer presents. Fewer traditions....

Edgartown: Interactive ‘Elf’ movie, Jingle Bell run, and church services

0
We’re about a week out from Christmas, and as I write, the only present I want is heading this way overnight. My boy is scheduled to arrive on the Island sometime tomorrow, and I...

I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. I missed the festivities, but by all accounts, Christmas in Edgartown sounds like it was wonderful. Lots of fun events and things to do, and I’ve seen...

Happy December! I already feel rushed. Didn’t I just write last week about taking this holiday season slowly and enjoying it? How can I already feel like I’m in a hurry? I need to...

Edgartown: Neighborhood Convention, Gray Matters for seniors, and Island Community Chorus

0
As I write, it is a chilly November day. It’s Saturday after Thanksgiving, a beautiful sunny day, but cold. I might just have to bundle up tight and take the dog for a walk...

Edgartown: Dickens Village, Misty Meadows, Artisans Festival, Featherstone, and concert series

0
Thanksgiving is here. As I write this, we still haven’t made any plans. We’ll probably make a turkey and some sides, and have a small dinner, mainly so we can have leftovers. Who doesn’t...

Edgartown: Chamber music at the library

0
It's been a long week. It takes a long time to get someone to Australia, especially when they detour in San Diego for a couple of days. I've been a very worried mother for...

Edgartown: College applications, Musical Revue, World Market, Met Opera, and Ukulele Jam

0
Ok. We are officially into deep fall here. The temperatures have gone down. Outside water and showers are being turned off and drained. And we turned the clocks back this weekend. It will maybe...

As I sit down to write this week’s column, I’ve enjoyed a seemingly beautiful summer day outside, complete with a swim at State Beach. And I’m not alone. My niece Abby went in today,...
