GARDEN

Aloha! Jackie and I have spent the day working in our garden. I know that must sound strange to all of you who are facing sub zero nights and blowing snow but here in paradise every things stays green year round. We were hoping to get the lawn mowed today but the grass is still a little too wet. It rained most of the night and finally stopped around 7 this morning but the skies have remained overcast so the lawn never dried. Maybe we can do it tomorrow. Jackie is fixing soup for dinner and I will barbeque some hamburgers also. We have been following your weather reports and we do feel for all of you. It has been since the winter of 2005 that we have seen temps lower than 60. It dropped to 65 last night and Jackie and I put on long pants and a sweatshirt! I even fixed us some hot chocolate! We sat here in our little room thinking it was cold. We are going to freeze our okoles off when we visit next month and it really is cold and not a balmy 65 like last night!
