It may snow…

As I was strolling through stores today (and it was in the 80’s outside), I was going to humorously say to people that it smells like we may get some snow. However, I decided not to.

A quick trip to the post office turned up 3 boxes, which went into storage. I went to the farm and decided to spend a while outside clearing the driveway. The driveway is cinder, rocks and packed dirt, but hanging branches get in the way of driving. Now the branches are gone and it is smooth sailing! A few more trips down the driveway and I’ll start losing weight. The driveway is about 1200 feet from house to street. It gradually drops as you go from street to house, but I don’t know how much. perhaps someone will stop by and have a GPS unit and I can see.

I have been chasing geckos from the house. They seem to slip in all the time. Although they eat bugs, they leave dropping, so I’d prefer to close up all the cracks and let them find another place to live. They say geckos are good luck. Then again they also say crickets are good luck. Crickets come indoors because it is warm; thus, if your house has crickets during the winter, you must have heat; thus you are employed… maybe The geckos just seem to come in to annoy me

We had two cruise ships in port today, but they missed the fun. As they were heading out the annual Kailua-Kona Christmas Parade went from the hotel here, down Alii Road. People were standing shoulder to shoulder on both sides of the street. It truely was a neat local parade with fire trucks all decked with lights, dogs with antlers (or were they really reindeer?) and even Santa made it for the show. Some of the island kids sang Christmas songs as they walked along.

As the parade ended I glanced up towards the mountain and thought to myself, yes, it does seem like snow!
