Stories by Lynne Irons

Nature Is Grand

July 17, 2019
Lynne Irons

I’m one of the baffled ones. Last Friday’s rain was lovely and seemingly significant. Here it is Monday and I’ve been handling hoses. What gives? My vegetable garden is completely...

Fickle Finds

July 10, 2019
Lynne Irons

I’m sorry to admit it, but I am not a big fan of summer. For starters, it’s too hot, especially for us outside workers. Then there is the fact that it never gets dark. I know most people...

A Very Vineyard Display

July 3, 2019
Lynne Irons

That was quite a storm last Sunday afternoon. I was caught in my car and, at first, wondered what was hitting it. Hail is certainly a memorable weather event. The odd thing was that during the...

Tough Mudder

June 20, 2019
Lynne Irons

I have good Guy Cotton raingear but it did not matter last Thursday. A few of us hardy folks needed to work outside. I cannot remember being wetter and muddier. The jacket pockets were actually...

Lynne Irons

After last Tuesday morning’s lovely and much needed rain, I traveled Middle Road around lunch time. There were an inordinate number of birds on the road. I wondered whether there could be tons...

Lynne Irons

Except for Dorothy’s transport into Oz, I have had no experience with tornadoes. After seeing the devastation through the Midwest this past week, I am, once again, grateful for Vineyard weather...

Highs and Lows

May 23, 2019
Lynne Irons

It happens every year! The month of May is cloudy and chilly and does not lend itself to successful planting of warm weather crops or tender annuals. Then, just before the customers arrive and a...

Ahoy Asparagus

May 15, 2019
Lynne Irons

Wind is my least favorite weather, but recently, in the Vineyard Haven Post Office parking lot, I actually enjoyed it. I watched it blow the ornamental cherry blossoms all over the place. Cars were...

Bloom, Baby Bloom

May 9, 2019
Lynne Irons

Everyone is complaining about the wet and chilly weather. I’m not one of them. Any day now it will become unbearably hot, humid and dry. I’ll begin whining about the endless hauling of...
