Can the fishes see that it is snowing from A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas

Drinking my morning coffee while watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. I watch it each year…though never this early in the morning.πŸŽ„ β˜•οΈ

😌 Feeling refreshed after some acupuncture.

A group of us are going to see Willie Nelson here on Maui tonight. I am not a Willie Nelson fan, indeed I couldn’t tell you anything that he has sung. However, we were gifted the tickets, Willie is very much a part of the Maui community having been a long time resident here, and with his son Lukas (whose music I also don’t know, although he plays around the island regularly πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ) at his side, I sense that it will be a fun evening. 🎸

End of the day photo. After the Kona Storm earlier this week, I’m welcoming the still, winter days that we are currently having.

I was heartened by the icons on the back of this bag of Boulder Canyon chips. Amongst the usual social media icons, was one for a RSS feed.

On this shortest day of the year, in the northern hemisphere, wishing everyone a Happy Winter Solstice. And for friends in the southern hemisphere, a Happy Summer Solstice.

πŸƒ Windy day.

πŸ’‘ The power has just come back on after a 10 hour outage.

πŸ”Œ Power is out now. Rain still falling. Wind blowing.

This morning’s storm burst. I have never seen anything like this before. In a lull at the moment, but I think that this Kona Storm has more to bring.

β›ˆ The rain still falls. The wind still blows. Thunder, lightening. Yesterday evening’s brief reprieve brought beautifully clear skies.

Dozing -
As the rain falls relentlessly outside.

Now the storm is hitting.
