It's a good thing I do not have seasonal affective disorder.

For several years now I have noted the effects of climate change on the Vineyard and, more specifically, on my own gardens.

Even though we should have known better, Violet and I drove through Five Corners.

On Sunday in the late morning, Violet and I took a drive along State Beach.

I must say: Tuesday's cloudless, sunny day was a welcome relief to greet the brand-new year.

The weather is warm and foggy and lends itself to a lazy day.

Once when the children were small it rained on Christmas Day.

So far this month we have only experienced a couple of below or near-freezing days.

It was another relatively warm week, especially given that we are now in December.

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