Stories by Lynne Irons

Earth Day

April 23, 2020
Lynne Irons

Is it just me or have we had an inordinate amount of rain and wind? It’s been very cool so forsythia and daffodils have been lovely for quite a while. A few years ago, just after my tulips...

Nature Lives Large

April 16, 2020
Lynne Irons

Monday’s nearly perfect spring day had folks out puttering in their yards. I know I did so much that I hurt myself. The well-rooted weeds needed some serious shovel work. My Grampa Bill always...

Planting Time

April 9, 2020
Lynne Irons

I don’t know how I ever went to work. I spend the entire day fussing around my house and yard. Plus, every day is Groundhog Day. I’m not ever bored but I do miss socializing when at the...

Seasonal Salad

April 2, 2020
Lynne Irons

Recently, on one of those absolutely perfect early spring days, I realized the sky has not been so blue and clear since the days following 9/11. There was not a single jet trail. I saw some photos...

Upside Down

March 26, 2020
Lynne Irons

I am eternally grateful to live on Martha’s Vineyard at a time like this. We can still go outside in our own yards and it seems that most are taking Covid-19 seriously. Indulge me as I quote...

Lynne Irons

March 12, 2020
Lynne Irons

I’m a broken record — I hate the wind. The weather, however, does not respond to criticism. I have a large hoop-house covered in a white tarp. It is not for growing plants but rather to...

Spring Ahead

March 5, 2020
Lynne Irons

I’m going to stop mentioning the lack of winter and turn my attention to spring. It’s made the inevitable turn into yet another season. I’ve been hearing spring birds singing, there...

Winter Seedlings and Wanderings

February 26, 2020
Lynne Irons

I grew up (or as I like to say grew taller) in the snow belt of western Pennsylvania. We experienced the lake effect snow which came off Lake Erie. Then, I’ve been out here on the Vineyard for...

Early Blooms

February 19, 2020
Lynne Irons

I’m not positive but I think I have my earliest crocus ever. It was just one poking up between two rocks in the stone wall. The others are up and green. Perhaps the rocks warmed up enough on...
