Round 5....yes ,there is a 4 foot fence in front of the school house
Milo and I had a very nice walk. I had to dig my way to the flag pole and, of course, Milo wanted to play. He bounced to the top of the snow drift and chased almost every shovel full of snow.
I received a card from my friend, Tom in Hawaii. Tom moves back and forth between Figi and Hawaii just as "snowbirds" move between our northern cities and Florida, Texas and Arizona in the winter. He has been watching the weather and thinking of us; he sent the following:
Ancient Mariner: The Early Years...
He had just arrived in the Sandwich Islands abroad a Strato Crusier....The height of technology in those days (circa 1930's)....Making his way toward the familiar landmark known as Diamond Head....when, from the edge of a white - sand beach there came a lovely Polynesian maiden bearing scented leis....Plumeria blossoms whose perfume wafted on the warm tropical breeze....awakening in him a desire he had long forgotten....when to his surprise, she removed the flowers from around her neck and placed them about his shoulders....leaning close to our intrepid seafarer....she whispered.... (to be continued)
And I still call Tom my friend! I wonder how long it will take him to finish this tale.
Stay warm, stay safe, share a smile.
Smiles, David

Tom, the teaser. Love the picture. Our snow is gone, replaced by dreary, cold rain. Had it been one degree colder, we would have had a delay in schools today, but at 33 degrees, nothing happened except another gray Monday morning. bea

Hi !!!!!!!!
Your pictures of the snow in Colorado are beautiful I wish I was there. I can't wait for the rest of the story. There's always something wonderful that you share with all of us at J-Land and I want to say thanks. I wish I was there to partake in that snow and to drink tons of hot chocolate. Thanks for this entry I shall return. Byyyyyye !!!!!!!!!
Fiji to Hawaii? Paradise for sure. Now, that's the way to do it. The history is fascinating. Meant to say congrats to Colin in my last comment. What an honor! Chris
Ooooh, this pic soooooooo makes me miss Colorado and the snow. The only thing I don't miss is my Hubby having to drive in it back and forth to work. Because I worked from home, it usually was not a problem for me!
Stay warm!~
Blessings!~
