Heat on, heat off. Yup, it is that time of year where we are trying to hold off till the first of November but brrr.

The big question is: do we put the summer clothes away or do we keep them out? One day it is 80 degrees, then the next 50.

We’ve had rain, blue skies, sun and perfect temperature.

As many people know, September and October are wedding months on the Vineyard.

This week, the weather has been the best.

Fall is coming. However, the flip-flops did not come off.

We have had a great relief from the heat and humidity. Beautiful fall like days with a nice breeze and the air conditioners turned off and windows open. Awesome!

Barry Burbank, channel four weatherman, brought things to perspective last week when he reminded us that we have lost almost two hours of daylight since summer.

It sort of feels like the week after Christmas around the Island.

Once again, it is raining for the first time in days. The ground is screaming for rain. I put some plants in the ground and, only an inch into the digging, I hit powder soil.
