Aloha Sunday.

Hawaiian Rainbows...

Good morning (well, for me anyway)!  It still is a bit getting used to waking up when the vast majority of my friends and family have already spent half the day awake.  But none-the-less, I bet they didn't wake up to a beautiful Hawaiian rainbow in the sky indulge in the view and the palm trees swaying to a calm breeze.

The one thing that stays true about Hawaii, is you get at-least one rainbow a day.  The past two weeks been a bit dreary for Hawaiian weather.  It reminds me of Northwest weather, which I do miss.  Its been constant cloudy skies with the occasional rain shower.  But I love the rain showers   One, it reminds me of the Northwest, and I love it! Two, as you all may know if you have traveled as extensively as I have, each place has a unique rain smell.  Here, its a tropical smell of the palm trees, the salt smell from the Pacific, and an earthy smell.  Its unbelievable.  The first time I smelled that tropical rain smell was when my husband first brought me here years ago to meet his family.  I remember being in the grandparents' van with the windows down, and the smell of the showers just wafting in as the wind blew in... I will never forget it. *cue the ukelele*

Speaking of smells... my son G decided to lull me awake from my wonderful sleep with the most horrid poop smell to come from his diaper yet.  Egh!  What a wake up call!
