Good news, the heat is back on in the great room of the Chappy Community Center.

When I was a child, Valentine’s Day was always something to look forward to.

We have sun, cold, and now we have snow.

Two snowstorms in one week! My turkey friends came along in a flock of 22 after the first snowfall.

Tim and I were married in West Tisbury on Valentine’s Day 49 years ago.

Though the idea seems far-fetched now, Martha's Vineyard was a part of New York for about 30 years in the 1600s.

In March, the shelter moves to two churches in Edgartown — St. Andrew’s Church and the Federated Church of Martha’s Vineyard — each of which will host guests for several nights in a row.

Nearly 80 kids are now part of 11 4-H clubs on the Island, each with its own focus and guidance from volunteers from local farms and environmental organizations.

A Tuesday in February in Menemsha starts like most of the Island — serene. But more so.
