Happy Wednesday, neighbors and friends! I want to talk about the Cutchogue St. Patrick's Day parade that so many attended Sunday, cheering and laughing despite the frigid cold wind. Seeing so many familiar faces participating in a time-honored tradition, just beaming with happiness to be back together after two long years, it lifted hearts. There's nothing like the magic of a North Fork parade, seeing our fire departments and elected officials and local community groups marching by with pride. It captures everything about this corner of the world we call home, and I couldn't have been happier to share that day with all of you. Check out the gallery of photos and see if you can find yours.

Until tomorrow. . .

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 51 Low: 40.
