Phyllis Lehrer at the Farmers Market, which is back in business for the summer.
Brian and I spent a couple of days in Martha's Vineyard, where neither of us had ever been despite me being a Massachusetts native. It's quite a sleepy place off-season.
The most interesting thing about the fabled island, I thought, is the
Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association, a centuries-old neighborhood established by Methodists in Oak Bluffs.
You have to walk your bikes among the many charming gingerbread-style houses.
Main Street, Edgartown.
We had a great pair of visitors to journalism class seen here with Eddie, one of the students -- Mary Serreze, my former co-worker, now the publisher of
Northampton Media and web developer April Francis. You can read about them at the
class blog.
A most beautiful time of year.
My nephew Matt caught a fish!
Hester in the sun.

I think Hester wants that fish.
ReplyDeleteGood one! I didn't think of that.
ReplyDeleteWhen we went during "monster shark week" a couple years ago and the island was absolutely crawling with shark fishermen and gawking tourists. We got the feeling a lot of the locals weren't too ecstatic about the invasion, tourist dollars or not.
ReplyDeleteI don't like going places where you get a sense you're not wanted.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I went to Atlantic City, out of season. We left a day later -- it was deserted and had an eerie feeling.
ReplyDeleteAs for Hester, I think it looks as if she just enjoyed eating the fish.
