To Do List...

My winter To Do list in Laie is a little bit different.  The winter chores back in Logan included:

• Swapping the lawnmower for the snowblower.
• Making sure the snowblower was ready for a 6 am start.
• Waxing the skis.
• Wrapping the deck furniture in tarps to protect from incoming snowstorms.
• Doing a snow dance in hopes for the beginning of ski season.

This year, I mowed the lawn on December 6th.  Its a bit strange to comprehend that the lawnmower is usually tucked into the back of the shed, waiting out the snowstorms.  This year the lawnmower was running full speed to keep the yard spruced up in time for Christmas.  Did I mention that I also ate a fresh banana?  It had been hanging in our garage to ripen after being cut  from the tree last week.  I also cleaned out the bird of paradise plants in our front yard.  I also cleaned out some banana trees, trimmed some rogue vines, and chased a few chickens around our yard for fun.

We also made our way to a Christmas tree farm.  Yes, they have them in Hawaii.  We shopped for a tress while wearing flip flops and tshirts.  It was great not worrying about gloves, boots, and hats.  The tree is great.  Betsy is in the process of decorating it for the holidays.
