Hey, babe, we’re back from L.A. and relearning to take off our shades before sundown. Here’s something picked up from West Coast living that might prove beneficial for the crème de lacrème of Islanders, i.e., the citizens of Oak Bluffs:

What a week we have had: weather in the 50s and people walking on the bike paths in shorts and T-shirts. People worked in their gardens, then Mother Nature watered them all for us. The ponds are quite full, and the waterfowl are really enjoying it.

Tides will be extreme this weekend. Tides will be highest around noon and midnight. Tides will be lowest in the early morning and late afternoon. One can expect to see sandbars that are normally hidden at low tide and at high tide find wracklines settling farther up the beach than normal. Mariners should be prepared, as it will be not the usual tides. If a storm is to coincide, then the chance for tides to be even more extreme may be cause for concern.
Invasive Plant Removal
Under the direction of environmental biologist Dick Johnson and the Eastville Beach committee, Martha’s Vineyard Girl Scout troops and volunteers will be removing Japanese black pine, oriental bittersweet, Japanese knotweed and autumn olive that threaten the environmental health of Eastville Beach (located by the new bridge near the hospital). The cleanup begins at noon and runs to 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 27. Raindate is Sunday, March 28.
The Vineyard Playhouse will transform into Spoon in the Moon Coffeehouse on Friday, April 2, with the assistance of a musical trio whose harmonies and arrangements inject new life into familiar traditional songs.
Cindy Kallet, Ellen Epstein and Michael Cicone perform both a cappella and with simple accompaniment from guitar and hammered dulcimer. The material is drawn from both contemporary and traditional works from America and the British Isles, with an occasional sea shanty thrown in. Their live performances are engaging for audiences of all ages.
