Let’s pick up where we left off last week by continuing the U.S. tour with Bob and Linae Schroeder. Guess who made a pitstop in Menemsha this week.
At this point, my mind bears a striking likeness to a late summer hazy day. It’s a touch cloudy, a tad frazzled and in a slight state of disarray.
On August 21 the moon moved between the Earth and the sun and we here in Chilmark experienced about a 65 percent solar eclipse.
Some of the most noteworthy highlights of summer on the Vineyard take place this week.
August rushes in like a rogue wave. Steamy heat, pastel sunsets, peaches, nectarines and zucchinis, fresh corn, offshore tuna trips, wild blueberries, beach bonfires, Chilmark Tavern onion rings, house guests and more.
The good news of the week is that Zeb, the bearded dragon lizard belonging to the Bunker-Ponte family, has been found.
The Bunker Ponte bearded dragon lizard, Zeb, has gone missing. He is the beloved pet of Jake, Shelby, Hunter, Erica and Kenny Ponte and resides at their home on Beetlebung Farm.
Guess who I spotted out for a slow and steady stroll on Basin Road. Yes! Jane (New Knee) Slater, escorted by her very dedicated and patient daughter in law, Chris, was upright managing quite nicely with her new knee in place.
July always reminds me of that noteworthy quote from the cult classic film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
With gray skies and fog it seemed as if summer was never going to reveal itself. All of a sudden, the clouds have made way for warm breezes and fiery sunsets. Warm breezes have blown in a lot of friends and summertime neighbors.
