Sure, I could have opted for a much drier form of transportation today. But instead of being defeated by the rain, I was inspired. Heading out to the Strand for some errands and an eye appointment, I had all I really needed (or wanted): Bike + Umbrella. Satisfied & happy with my rainy day endeavors, & only enduring a few odd looks from 4-wheeled travelers along the way-- I'd say it's been a good day here on the island. In the future I'll be real careful not to become this guy:
Plumeria is the latest thing blooming in our yard & all over the island. The smell of these beautiful bouquets of flowers are so intensely intoxicating, especially in the evenings. They're used to make leis in Hawaii & other Pacific islands, and come in several different colors. They grow effortlessly here on the island-- which is a wonderful thing! Paul & I were given several cuttings from a local friend, stuck them in pots, & the result has been deliciously gratifying.
in all of his glory, crazy as can be-- Paul always makes me laugh. Here he's ready to conquer the great outdoors.
