Spring has arrived in Aquinnah with the grass getting greener each day, daffodils in full bloom, forsythia flourishing, and a few herring starting to appear in the run. Tulips are about to blossom. Go Hillary!

What a wonderful week it has been for a school vacation. Chilmark has been quiet as many families are off Island enjoying spring somewhere else. It has been grand here with quiet times and beautiful bloomings and wonderful sunshine. A surprise from April, which is usually cold and rainy.
Will Holtham is here preparing the Home Port Restaurant for the coming season. He tells us to look for his opening sometime mid-June this year.

Finally we’ve been getting the kind of warm, sunny days that make it clear that spring has arrived. Last weekend people were out working in their yards, strolling the streets of Edgartown, hiking and biking, and even playing on the beach. This time of year people working outside, at least this week, have it way better than the inside ones.

While the following is not a snippet from that cheesy book, Vineyard Confidential, Oak Bluffs native Kate McLean is living with 10 boys in San Francisco. Also three girls.
It started when she moved to the Bay Area last December (don’t you love the way today’s Vineyarders can just pick up and go thousands of miles from home; back in the day, their farthest destination used to be a weekend in New Bedford.)

The tables have turned again. I took a head start on school vacation last Thursday and drove down to my Old Country with Iole’s three granddogs to help her out for a week. Let me tell you, toothaches don’t go away.
