The other day in Edgartown I happened upon a school crossing, shortly before three o'clock.

Well, it's here. Summer.

Here's hoping that by the time you read this, these infernal winds will have blown their way out of here.

I believe I might be the only person in town who missed The Wizard of Oz last weekend.

We were away all week wreaking havoc on the mainland, so I missed a couple of important items that were scheduled for last week's column.

Town meeting was still going strong when a swell of semantics, not to mention this column's long-passed deadline, finally washed me out at around 9 p.m.

Along with the daffodils, there are many election posters along our roads in anticipation of next week's town meeting and election.

The calendar says it's spring but as I write this, winter is taking us for one last dance.

The West Tisbury Library Foundation and West Tisbury School principal Donna Lowell-Bettencourt have stepped up to organize free child care during our annual town meeting on April 12.
