What a rude awakening last Sunday. It was our first significant freeze.

Because we really have not had as much rain as we had last month, my winter rye has taken forever to sprout.

It's curious how there are so many different weather situations on the Island.

We finally had a freeze here in Vineyard Haven.

It's been difficult to make clothing choices at this time of year.

After working in Edgartown on Tuesday, I took a drive down the right fork to South Beach and back on the left fork.

Tuesday morning's sky was really amazing. I can imagine a similar sky being part of Michelangelo's vision for the Sistine Chapel.

The meditation from the Chilmark church’s bulletin last Sunday was a quote from Anne of Green Gables: “I’m glad to live in a world where there are Octobers!”

This week’s weather is the reason we live on the Vineyard and why October is a favorite month.

Last Saturday's near miss that simply gave us rain did a number on the garden.
