I love the fall skies; the bright blue and the soft clouds. I still try to make figures out of the clouds.

Happy birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week.

Special wishes to my sister in law Linda Noble who celebrated Sept. 16, and great-niece Amanda Brown who celebrate Sept. 17.

Big balloons go out to Diana DeOliveira who celebrated her day Sept. 15, Megan Donovan, Sept. 17, and Curtis Farrell and Renato Gomes who both celebrated Sept. 18.

The ceremonies took place yesterday, Sept. 18, at the Big E Fairgrounds in West Springfield.

Wow, it is always exciting to break a record and Dianne Powers did so recently. Dianne and I were both at Davis Solon and Gina Lombardi’s wedding reception when Dianne whipped out a photograph of a bird. Dianne continued by saying she thought the bird was a worm-eating warbler, was she right? Right as rain, said I, and what a find!

Jennifer is a gentle soul; a massacre just isn’t in her nature. So I was surprised when she asked if she must kill them all.

I can’t blame her for having post traumatic caterpillar stress disorder after the last few years of winter moth madness. She was worried about her trees and called to ask if she must slay the black and orange beasts to protect her oaks.

Saturday, Sept. 13: Heavy rain in Vineyard Haven at dawn. Rain in Oak Bluffs. A small gathering at the Edgartown Lighthouse at 1 p.m. under overcast skies. Light damp breeze. Poor visibility across Nantucket Sound. Fishing boats come in and out of Edgartown harbor in the afternoon.

The standout project in Saturday’s Think Globally, Shot Locally — a mixed bag of a forum at the Martha’s Vineyard International Film Festival — was Sara Nesson’s work-in-progress Iraq Paper Scissors, a documentary about Iraq War veterans participating in the Combat Paper Project.
