It was so sunny and warm on Monday I had to go on a search for a sun hat. It was under the seat of my truck and not in the best shape.

It’s completely understandable why the ancients feared a solar eclipse. Even though we only experienced a partial here on the Vineyard, it was a bit unnerving.

Keeping Up

The only thing predictable about New England weather is its ability to change. After a few lovely spring days, we are back to rain and wind.

Having had a series of beautiful days, I find myself in a dilemma. It’s time to get out in the fields. I need to go to work.

The wind is worse for outdoor work than rain or even snow. Tarps blow around, it’s impossible to spread fertilizer and a person’s overall mood becomes increasingly sour.
