Reminder: It’s time to change the clocks for daylight saving time between Saturday night and Sunday morning, March 8-9.

Digital devices do it automatically, but if you have a wind -p clock as I do, you have to manually turn the hands until you reach the correct number.

We now have over 11 hours of daylight and it is now light until 6 p.m. However, that will be a different number after the clocks change.

The South Amherst Thursday Club, of which I am a member, will present a performance by the Wilde Irish Women on Thursday, March 13 at 2 p.m. at the South Amherst Congregational Church. The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

Unfortunately, I said they were performing in February in an earlier column. That was a mistake. They will perform next week.

Dr. Margaret Clark of West Yarmouth sent me a video of Marybeth and Brian’s wedding on the beach in Brewster that was a joy to see. It was summer, and all the guests are barefoot including the bridal couple. There were two boats on the beach, one for drinks, the other for food. Brian’s company is Brewster Oysters, according to Clark, who wrote that she reads my column in the Gazette every Saturday.
