The Vineyard has felt like three seasons in one week. We had a slightly balmy day with a brisk wind on Veterans Day to view the splendid parade in Oak Bluffs with many of our veterans participating along with the impressive honor guard from Menemsha Coast Guard Station, sheriff’s department, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts.

The autumn air has remained in the 50s throughout the week, but the frost is on the pumpkins most nights. Tuesday was an absolutely warm, calm day for getting out to enjoy the sounds of nature.

Aquinnah Public Library will feature fun with dragons on Saturday. Stop in for coffee and tea and other goodies. The latest DVDs have arrived for your viewing pleasure. There is a cart full of free books and movies on the back deck.

The weather continues to be in the 60s and 70s, with beautiful calm autumn days. Many people are still swimming at the beaches while dodging day-time derby fishermen. We all wish the weather will hold like this for awhile.
