Somebody had best do something about this heat soon before we all get cranky. Is it always hot here in the summer? On top of all of it, my mom just informed me that she’ll be coming down for three weeks in September. That’s a good thing, right? Boy, it sure is hot. And, like bad poetry, the humidity repeats it’s refrain with nary a nuance of change. Is it always humid here in the summer?

I would sing, “We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave,” but it is too darn hot. Still, I think we all agree we are in the best place here on the Island; even when it is hot, here we usually have a nice ocean breeze.

Moon and Virgo

The crescent moon appears high in the southwestern sky after sunset tonight. It is in the zodiacal constellation Virgo. The moon moves into the first quarter phase on Saturday and appears close to one of the brightest stars in the night, the bright star Spica, also in Virgo. Virgo is a large constellation that extends along the zodiac. The moon will spend two days in Virgo.

Summer is upon us and as usual we have several new cats and kittens at the Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard who need homes — won’t you please stop by and see them?
