The snow continues to drift lazily down to the ground as we near the year end. Perhaps this is a good reminder for us of what the rest of our family and friends will be experiencing while we slog through the winter in a warmer climate. It's a tough job, but we will persevere through it. We leave Alberta to cross into the US on the 4th of January.
Kauai Hawaii
Have you ever wondered which Island people are referring to when they say they are going to Hawaii? Me too. Turns out "The Big Island" is actually Hawaii, but because it is the largest in the archipelago, they (in the archipelago) are referred to as the Hawaiian Islands. Currently my friend Val (who met me in Honolulu upon my return from Australia) and I are on the oldest island in the chain, Kauai. It rains here more than the other islands, and is therefore known as the Garden Isle. So green, lush and beautiful. We are right beside the ocean in a condo for a couple weeks and the sound of the ever rolling surf, the tall waving palm tree outside our door, the sun and birds of many varieties, including the islands feral chickens and roosters. The chickens are a master class in introduced animals. Thousands of feral chickens roam the island with no natural predators. Go to this website for info on how these chickens came to be here.... http://themodernfarme
