The weather has been pleasurable over the past week.

Autumn weather has arrived, those warm days we always look forward to after a busy summer.

Labor day was a little less ceremonious this year.

Autumnal temperatures have arrived in Aquinnah and none too soon.

Oh, the days are getting warmer and longer as we head into springtime weather in a few weeks. In the meantime, let’s enjoy the last vestiges of winter as we wish them away.

Scalloping is not so great this year on the Aquinnah side of Menemsha Pond.

There were a few more days of gloomy skies in Aquinnah this week, mixed with fog and a day or two of sun and temperature in the 70s.

April showers will certainly bring May flowers and we have had an abundance of rain again this week mostly overnight. Lawns are greening and catching up with Forrest Alley’s lawn which appears to stay green even during the winter months. Temperatures are nearing the 60s on most days.

Great days of sunshine in Aquinnah all week with several nights of rain. The herring are running. The mute swans that have been in Squibnocket for the past few months have moved aside for the herring and are now in Meadow Lake.

s winter fades away, we have been very fortunate in Aquinnah with just some snow dusting and nothing to shovel or really plow as the winds keep most areas bare.
