Our beloved town has a great deal of prize-winning, Guiness-Book-of-Records elements to it, but there’s a new possible demographic that makes us a contender for something truly special, something I’ve noticed on my daily rambles around town when my dog takes me for a serious drag, and I’m just going to put it out there and see what kind of feedback comes my way, so here goes . . .

The greener Chappaquiddick gets, the yellower my car becomes. When it’s parked at my house, it sits below several big oaks that shed copious amounts of pollen. At this time of year, all flat surfaces on my porch or inside near open windows become covered with this fine yellow powder.

The weather has made this past week heaven. People are excited about their gardens, the lawns are getting greener, and the trees all have their leaves. Mother Nature even put the water on for us on Wednesday so we could take a day off from watering.

Hello, Lila

Louisa and Seamus O’Brien of Edgartown announce the birth of a daughter, Lila Louise O’Brien, born on May 24 at the Martha’s Vineyard Community Hospital. Lila, who weighed 6 pounds, 9 ounces at birth, is joining big brother Connor.

Enjoy a beloved children’s fantasy Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, presented by the Martha’s Vineyard School of Ballet today, June 6, at 7 p.m. at the Edgartown School.

Friday, May 30: Sunny. Summer weather. Temperature rises to mid-70s. A night for a barbecue. The smell of freshly cooked burgers drifts through downtown Edgartown. Stars make a showing late at night. Cool.

Saturday, May 31: Sunny and dry. High-flying cirrus clouds in the afternoon. A couple walks the beach at Eastville Beach. Ferry Island Home passes off Middle Ground. Fishing boats are adrift in the breaking rip on Middle Ground. Bull frogs sound off a still pond in Chilmark.

The Island fishing season arrives in June. There are enthusiasts who will go out in April or May and catch some nice fish, but they are only preparing for what happens in June.
