The motto of New England — “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute” — really lived up to its image. We had heat, wind, rain, snow, record cold and warm again, all in just a few days. Who knows what is coming next. Maybe spring.

Happy Birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week. Big balloons to out to Haile Barbosa and Mariana Sandoval who celebrated Feb. 4, Gloriannie Amaral-Espinoza on Feb. 5, Joao Da Silva on Feb. 6, Stefano Avansini and Francis Trott on Feb. 7, Harper Kelly on Feb. 8, Isabella Hill and Finnian Welch on Feb. 9 and to Damon Reed, who celebrates on Feb. 10.

Elliot Frank Lambert came into the world on Feb. 2, weighing eight and one-half pounds. He and his mom Amanda are doing fine, and dad Thom and brothers Oliver, Jonah and sister Amelia welcomed him home on Sunday. It will be a very busy household, but a happy one.

Congratulations to Zack and Ellen Waller and big sister Katia as they welcome Sophie to their family. Sophie Alexandra Waller was born Jan. 25 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Manchester, England, weighing seven pounds, ten ounces. Grandparents Pat and Steve Waller are waiting anxiously to meet Sophie in April when the family will visit from England. Congratulations to all.

CB Stark Jewelers has some changes this winter. As of this week, the Vineyard Haven location is closed for an exciting new renovation. During this time, they have opened their Edgartown store. As of now, Edgartown hours will be Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on Sunday. They are hoping to reopen the Vineyard Haven store in early April.

Take a minute at sunset and look at the sky. The sunsets have been spectacular and the best part it takes place around 5:30 p.m., meaning it is staying lighter later — which I will certainly not argue with.

Have a great week and keep the home candles burning.
