“What a sweet face,” I thought as Havilah, a 2-year-old golden retriever, bounded into my office. Havi’s family had been here on vacation for a while, but were heading back to the Midwest by car in just a few days. Truly embracing Vineyard life, they had spent much of the previous day on the beach playing fetch with their dog, throwing the ball into the water or down the stretch of sand. Since cooler fall weather had arrived, heat stroke was not a big concern, especially in a fit youngster…
“All these lovely tokens of September days are here, with summer’s best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer.” –Helen Hunt Jackson This quote seems to describe our September, which gave us many summerlike days, along with the happy relief of less crowding on the Island.

She wrote a history…
Last weekend, fall arrived with buckets of rain, leaving wedding attendees with cars stuck in muddy fields, and farmers and innkeepers stuck with torn-up turf. As it poured rain outside, I made chicken soup, filling the house with good smells. The soup felt so good to Charley and me as it warmed our insides and helped to fortify our immune systems against the colds and hay fever that keep plaguing us. I guess it’s time to pull out the warm woolies and put away the white capri pants and flip-flops.…

To the Editor: There is an important article in Friday’s New York Times about the follow-on effects of replanting forests with a monoculture. The article is, “We Thought We Were Saving the Planet but We Were Planting a Time Bomb.” The subject might be worth an editorial. Apparently much of the State Forest was planted with red pines by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Depression. It was the north edge of the red pine’s range, and many died,…

The wind has been blowing all day. I can feel it at my back as I sit on my sofa, writing, with the windows open behind me, watching branches whip back and forth. Mike and I have been preparing for the possibility of a storm, Hurricane Lee, that may or may not affect us. He may be spending the night at the firehouse; Chief Pachico has alerted the department that they may need to be on call at the station if the storm is bad. The above was my first opening paragraph for this week’s column. I wrote…
