I love winter. Really, I do.
Right this minute, from where I sit behind my computer in the living room I count:
14 snowmen figurines
6 “Let It Snow” signs
3 cross-country skier/snowflake throws
2 “Let It Snow” votive candle lamps
2 stuffed moose on skis
1 stuffed bear on skis
1 wooden snowman on skis and,
1 snowman pillow.
All strategically and lovingly placed atop a mantel, a desk, a glider, and several bookcases.
But... I just spent an hour shoveling snow and chiseling ice from around my chicken coop and so, as a distraction from winter’s many pleasures, I present these photos from a November snorkeling adventure on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Enjoy.
