We are back to the balmy weather, but people have been happy because they can still decorate outside without being cold. So I hope to see many houses lit up for the holidays.

Chilmark sends congratulations to the Kohlberg family on the purchase of our wonderful Island newspaper and to the Preservation Trust who now have one of the historic Vineyard houses to take care of as only they can. I know the Kohlbergs have a long Chilmark history, so let’s hope they are readers of this column. We will keep you posted!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here on Chappy. Not really, but I was afraid if I didn’t say it now I might not ever get the chance — very little snow in the forecast. And snow is the one addition to the landscape that adds a seasonal quality to our home. Otherwise, November, December, January, February, March and April look a lot like Christmas too.
