today i'm really glad i'm in hawaii

i dont like to capitalize or punctuate unless really needed.

today the weather was perfect. light breeze that lifted the skirt unexpectedly. warm sun. i'm glad that i'm not bundled up in cumbersome jackets or sitting next to a heater. hard to believe just a few years ago i was living in a house in colorado with no heat other than an old pellet stove that only heated up one room. we all had probably four thick blankets each.

in oahu we rarely used blankets. a few times in winter. here on the big island we use them, a sheet in summer and i have a plushy velvety blanket for winter. i bought it when i first moved to hawaii. i double up the baby's clothes at night because he always kicks blankets off. we don't have a heater in the house (no air conditioner either.

i've forgotten about the rain that poured for a few days straight and made me want to flee the island for the sun. in a few days i may crave the desert again.
