Island Time, May 7 – 13: May Days, Inside and Out
May 7, 2020
The full moon shines tonight, the weather is warming, nurseries and farmstands are open, and the virtual Vineyard is in full-swing. Be sure to take a walk this weekend to see the mayflowers and wild violets in bloom, but know that there’s plenty to do inside, too. More virtual events are popping up every day. Find them all in the Complete Martha’s Vineyard Calendar, and consider checking out some of these happenings over the days to come:
