I love every minute of this time of year, especially the illusion of living in a Wolf Kahn painting as I observe the leaves emerging in our woods. Colors change every day, and light moves across and through thickets of branches. Pink, lavender, an orange-tinged green, finally a bright, almost-chartreuse that contrasts with the bits of sky still visible. These leaves will darken soon, and our woods will take on the closed, dull green of summer that obscures everything. I am watching our beech trees…

The 31st annual Memorial 5K Road Race to benefit Hospice of Martha’s Vineyard will take place…

Truthfully, we do but we don’t, and I feel like the earlier we can come to terms with that sentiment, the easier life will unfold. I’ll take a note from my fellow columnist, Joanna Lambert of Oak Bluffs, and her way of doing things and share the meaningful quote, “The trouble is, you think you have time,” attributed to Jack Kornfield. So let this be the moment…
