Report from South Kona

The weather has calmed down again and a batch of Vog ( Volcanic Haze ) has blown in from the south. The one good thing about storms, the air get sparkling clean and clear. The sunset was kind of voged out tonight but its a nice pleasant evening with a light breeze and dark already. The tree is up and looking good , just waiting for the new train track to get here so we can get the trains running around it, the boys and I love to have the trains going with all the tree lights on. Tonight hopefully the lights around the deck railing will get put up and going. Need to get home early so the big snowman can go up on the carport, you know it’s one of those ones that a fan blows up with a light inside, it’s been going up for several years now and is the high point of our light show. Not as much as many people do but we like our christmas lights.

I need to get some of the things on the santa lists ( they never have yet asked, but I’m sure they know and just don’t want to loose a source of a gift or two hahaha ) .On my second Latte just about ready for some light hanging . I have some pics with some of our ornaments if you have time to waste .see myspace.

Peace and Joy Steve

The rain was coming down as the day began, and turned into a sunny cloud filled morning, with large black clouds swirling around. Still a little blustery , nothing like yesterday, with rain here and there. Ocean stormy today with that victory at sea look, a couple of people surfing this morning , the waves are all jumbled up and not that great to ride. Its cool tonight at sunset down to 67 and chilly at night.

Perfect evening for a latte , little downpours of rain with clouds all along the horizon, and just a little cool burst of wind now and again. I have been wanting to put up some lights but with this weather and all the lightning this weekend will be better. A little hot chocolate and tree decorating a big snowman on the carport roof, the kind that blows up with a little fan and has a light inside. I like a electric train to go around the tree we need some new tracks , with all the lights off , and only the tree and the little headlight of the train going around it’s super cool. The truth is that when the boys were babies they got two great train sets, that they were too young to touch so I had full use of them for several years, and would run both at the same time around the tree. Now the tracks are a little worn out and I bought two new engines earlier this year since the old ones broke . A new set or two of tracks and we are good to go again. now the boys are old enough to set them up them selves.

Thats all folks for tonight , later I will tell the Jones family tradition of the burning of the rolls.

Joy and Happiness Steve
