West Tisbury: Blooming flower bulbs Kyra Steck
We have had beautiful gardening weather this past week. Warm, sunny days lure me outside to rake and weed and fertilize, to plant the daffodils that filled pots on our porches for Easter, but now are dying back. I like looking at needy spots and being able to fill some right away, as I analyze where new bulbs will have to go in this fall. I remember Margaret Logue surveying her meadow and putting stakes in the ground to mark where she wanted to put more bulbs in in the fall. I wish I were that organized, but I subscribe to a more casual approach.

SHEPHERDSTOWN Over the weekend, Shepherdstown was a flurry of activity, as community members gathered together to celebrate the upcoming presidential inauguration with acts of service.
John Meeker, of Shepherdstown, spearheaded the organization of two Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service events, which were the Presidential Inaugural Committee’s recommended replacement for less pandemic-friendly celebrations this month. While the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service traditionally takes place on Monday, the events encompassed the entire federal holiday’s extended weekend.
