We couldn’t have a more perfect afternoon than last Saturday for the Fire Department picnic at Flat Point Farm. The sun was shining. The air was dry. The temperature was comfortable. The drive down is part of the experience, along a dirt road that meanders through thick woods with glimpses of water. It still looks like it always did, and I treasure the places that haven’t changed. Gradually, family houses and broad fields appear. At the very end, colorful tents sheltered tables of food and diners,…
Last Saturday marked the final Chilmark Flea Market of the summer, meaning my Wednesdays and Saturdays are now returned to me! My goal is to leave at least one of those days each week to make art, play, catch up with friends, or go for a walk: to do something that my friend Althea would say “nourishes my artist heart.” Sometimes it is easier to come up with an excuse about why now isn’t the time to enjoy doing something outdoors: ticks, sharks, weather, traffic.

The…
It’s definitely fall-ish. We’re cleaning out our woodstove in preparation for colder mornings. Shorts and T shirts are getting washed and packed away, while sweaters and sweats and leggings are getting unpacked and gratefully worn. In our crafty house, we are already thinking about end-of-year holidays. The Derby is upon us. I have no idea how this all has happened so fast. It seems that I just get used to one season, and here comes the next. For several years now the Aquinnah Cultural Center…
The Vineyard Cribbage Club brought out 20 players for our second tournament of the season as we bid a friendly “see ya next season” to our summer residents. The results were as follows:
Heading back to the Island after a week of gatherings and celebrations with close and extended family in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York. On September 11, after Rosh Hashanah dinner with family, we climbed a hill, and through the clouds beheld the four-mile-tall beams of light rising from Manhattan. A tribute that asks us not to forget what has happened, but to begin with the memory intact and firm resolve.
