Well, Boston broke its record, but I have not heard anything about our record. I think if we took a poll nobody would argue this has been the snowiest winter in a long time. However, I have been enjoying the sun that we have had and the little warm weather that came along with it.
Happy birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week. Big balloons go out to Brianna Oliveira, who celebrated March 17; Riley Jackson, March 18; Rachel Fish, March 19, and to Mackenzie Duart, who celebrates her day on Friday, March 20.
Even with spring officially starting this weekend, Edgartown had its spring begin this week. The Wharf reopened its doors after a month of revamping and getting some R and R. But now that they are back open, it means that trivia is back on Wednesday nights. It is a fun time and a night out to eat and test your brain power, and keep the cobwebs out of the winter brain. It starts at 7:30.
But Tuesday was the big day for young and old as the Dairy Queen officially opened its doors for the summer.
There was the march of the kids from the school to the Dairy Queen. There were groups of kids from all ages and the parents that picked up their kids went right there. When I went by, there was not that long of a line, but the place was crowded.
Sandra Alestra and Dennis Rogers are once again the proud grandparents of a grandson.

Mass Audubon at Felix Neck welcomes Alexandra (Ally) Ferland to the Felix Neck staff. Ally is Felix Neck’s new education assistant, and will work closely with Josey Kirkland, education coordinator, to provide nature education programming to students in the Island school system. She will also lead public programs for the community at the sanctuary during the summer season.
Ally will be heading up the Nursery School Naturalist program for preschoolers beginning April 2. This program runs every other Thursday from April 2 to June 11 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Participants will look for signs of spring and watch the season unfold through stories, crafts, walks, live animal presentations and more. The program is for ages 3 to 5 with a parent/friend, $6 per child for members of Mass Audubon and $9 per session for nonmembers.
Have a great week and keep the home candles burning.
