I won’t talk about the weather here because at this time the Bahamas are getting a beating from Dorian and all of our thoughts and prayers are with them.

I know some of us are very happy with the cooler weather that has come to us this week. I think it is more that we are all happy that the humidity is down. I love that you can wear long sleeves or short and be comfortable in both. Now let see what next week brings.

Happy birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week. Big balloons go out to Anna Rodrigues who celebrated August 24, Penelope Thornton on August 25, Cali Grow and Dani Grow on August 26, Rayssa Donato and Zakery Perry on August 28, and to Ana Costa and Connor Graves who celebrated August 29.

I will only repeat what I have heard all week from people and that is that we have had enough of this heat.

The weather is still warm but the breeze has helped keep it a little bearable.

At last, a little rain in Aquinnah on Tuesday morning.

I write this on Monday, the first day of relief from the humidity.

This past weekend could not have been any better. It was warm, the sun was shining all day, and there was a breeze. It was perfect for graduation and all the weddings.

I use to call my mother in Vineyard Haven every night.

f you close your eyes and don't look at the calendar, you would swear it was April 1 not May 13.

It is Monday and there was this big ball of fire in the sky. People were out and about even though it was not the warmest day and the wind was blowing keeping it cool.
