Hawaii. . .

So I mentioned that I'd get some Hawaii pictures in. Well, I actually am holding to my promise even though there's not as many as I'd hope they would send. But here goes...

Here's a picture of the sandy beaches of Maui. I've never even seen a palm tree that's not in a picture before!

Okay, now I'm jealous. This is the garden in the Honolulu airport. I can't even imagine what it must have looked like in real life!

Well, like I said before, not many pictures. But for now this was my blogs "little bite" of Hawaii.

And the snow hits again...

Yesterday was as close to a summer day as we have gotten since ...well, summer itself with a high of 74 degrees. It was wonderful. We went for a picnic and played on the playground until we almost died of exhaustion. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.

Unfortunately, when we woke up this morning, the snow had arrived once again, despite the soaring heat the day before.

The forecast is 3-6 inches. Not enough to build snowmen from but enough to have to clear the driveway. Ugh.

The ironic thing was that yesterday I (jokingly) mentioned that it would be fun to be snowed in from going to church. Turns out my jest wasn't far off the actual happenings.

The dogs have a love-hate relationship with the snow. They love it...for ten minutes, and then whine to get back in to warmth. Then whine to get back out. Then whine to get back in. You get the point.

I'm hoping for it to stick for a day or two then vanish with the rest of winter. Easter is early this year. I'm really hoping it doesn't snow that day. Finding Easter eggs in the snow won't be any fun.

So, while my parents enjoy the warm beaches of Hawaii, those of us left behind must get through another dreary, snowy, wintery day.

Sigh.
