Is it just us, or does life seem to keep getting curiouser and curiouser? Who knows what’s next – an animate, empty brass ring dispenser?

The season has officially arrived! The West Tisbury Farmers’ Market opens tomorrow at 9 a.m. at the agricultural fairgrounds. A summer event for decades, the farmers’ market is the perfect place to grab everything from flowers to fish to fennel.

Check out this story about its fiftieth anniversary a couple of years ago - https://mvmagazine.com/news/2024/04/21/still-growing-strong. Then, when Saturday comes around, grab your reusable bags and head to the market.

Spring is the time to ease into summer – and for roadside stands, wildflowers, Little League games, and beach time before the whirlwind comes along and sweeps us away. Take time to enjoy it!

It sounds like a dream: you walk into a lush garden and everywhere you turn there are butterflies – swooping through the air, fluttering their wings and landing on your shoulder. But, on Aruba, it’s all real. Rosie Slayter helps her family run The Butterfly Farm: “We like to call it an all-inclusive resort for the butterflies and caterpillars,” she said. Outside of the resort, though, the dream sounds more like reality: read our story to see how Aruba struggles to balance tourism with their fragile environment.

Mark Twain might have said, “If you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes,” and we have to imagine he was talking about spring. One day, it’s balmy T-shirt weather, and the next, a gray fog rolls in off the harbor, as it did for photographer Jon Cohan. This picture – which placed in our annual photography contest – reminds us that, even when skies are gray, perfect sailing conditions are right around the corner.

So bring your camera with you and the photos you take could grace the pages of next year’s Winter-Spring issue. In the meantime, you can find our current issue on newsstands now or at the online store: https://vineyardgazettestore.com/product/12/view

This waterfront property on Lake Tashmoo, which recently sold for $6,850,000, has a checkered past. Built in the 1950s as a fishing shack, it sat between the estates of actress Katharine Cornell and oil heiress Helen Pratt Philbin. When the original owner fell on hard times, he offered it to his wealthy neighbors for a hefty sum. They declined – and he retaliated.

They say that the cobbler’s children often go shoeless, but luckily, experts don’t always forgo their own needs. In fact, we find that designers, builders, and architects often have the boldest, most stylish homes.

Interior designer Barbara Feinstein proves our point: she pulled out all the stops while working on her bright and airy house in Katama. She took us on a tour of the space, pointing out all the decisions she got to make for a client who completely understood the vision: herself.

The Beatles left us with some of the best rock and pop songs the world has ever heard – but they also seemed to leave cartoonist Paul Karasik with a question: what if the Fab Four had visited Martha’s Vineyard? It’s not hard to imagine that the Island would have made its way into some of their songs.

It was Leonard Cohen who sang, “There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.” But this house in Chilmark doesn’t rely on cracks or even typical windows – the light comes in from everywhere because there are no opaque exterior walls. The residents of this unique home are its designers, a husband-and-wife duo behind Morgan Studio. They wanted a home for their family that not only let in light but also created an experience that blended their lives with the natural world. And when the motorized glass walls lift up to let the breeze flow in? Mission accomplished.
