Tale of Two Weathers

we are waking up late to a socked in Hawaii/ Kauai.
Scrambled eggs, toast and a sunny fruit platter get the day started off right. When the rains are heavy the whales offshore go deep and sleep. It's all good, we are off to church.


Gail needs to see the turtles, so we head South, stopping at Pizzacato for a slice and salad, then straight to the Point at Poipu for a visual frolic. The sun feels so great on our skin, despite the winds. There are many multiple sightings. . .little brown periscope necks, and great round disks surfing the swells!
It is Super Bowl Sunday so we promise Dan we'll get him home to view it. The weather up North is frightening. . . lightening and thunder bursting over the ocean (where the whales are lazing) and the rains will not cease. Dan tried to take me to a Rest Deeply class at Yoga Hanalei, but the roads are closed and there is a flash flood warning in effect for HERE! "Turn Around, Don't Drown." is the slogan. Twice today the weather people reported three inches of rainfall in one hour.



I draw a hibiscus we photographed on the way to church and Gail is planning her last day on the island. That would be tomorrow.(Your wish is our 'command',)
We will have Onolicious Chicken Satay on a papaya salad with a hoisin balsamic vinagarette. They picked up some light Hagan Das ice cream for the pie that will follow the healthy entree.
We settle on the lanai to watch the light show and sonorous sky, before grilling the sesame chicken kebobs.
What happens when lightening penetrates the ocean? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Gail thinks the salt diffuses the charge.
Mahalo, Susan
