I love the idea of snow...live on the wrong continent to get this sort of thing...however I did get to. Charlotte's pass the other month, and saw Kosciusko and wee bit of snow
Wicking garden beds are good for dry sites.

Psh Big Island had snow. You just have to be a really good climber to reach those elevations but it's there.

I've heard about that. If I ever make it to Hawaii, I'll be sure to go to the big island just for the hiking. I'm not sure why, but I've never had a taste for the tropics. I've always preferred the temperate climates of the Pacific NW and New England for some reason.
But I so miss seeing and hiking mountains. South Texas is too flat for my tastes. Ugh!

See I thought it was going to be a way too hot and humid here for my taste, I mean I hated Summer back home and all of the tropical places I've been were (while stunning and great places to visit) places I would have been miserable living but there is a lightness to the air here that none of them had. I guess a lot of it is the trade winds, they keep the place from getting humid and constantly cool the air.
Personally I'm normally a pretty temperate weather kind of gal, spring and fall in Virginia were kind of perfect, but honestly here is good. We live on the south side of Oahu, right on the coast so it is a little hotter than ideal but very livable, I'd prefer to live a little further inland and in the mountains. It's about 10 degrees cooler in the neighborhood where I want to buy a house and in a couple of months, once everything finally gets sorted (because the Navy is being super shitty at processing people, like shitty even by military standards) we may actually be getting a house there! As a bonus because unless you are in the military everything is along the coast housing is actually cheaper where I want to buy, the downside is that a lot of houses have been owned by young military personnel that knew they wouldn't be there for more than 4 years living in them and who were just happy to get out of barracks so they need serious updating, but we're good diy-ers and being military as long as we provide food we will always have lots of helpers so I think a fixer upper would fine.
Sorry I got off on a little tangent there, kind of excited about the possibility of being a homeowner, anyway my point was to not judge Hawaii by other tropical places.

Grats on the new diggs, Sol, I hope you have fun fixing it up and making it your very own.
BB Are those your dogs? They're sooooo cute. I love their little people-faces!

Saw the pic on another site and had to repost, That's actually something I never thought about Sol. I think I knew maybe one person or two that lived in Hawaii, but they never talked about it that much and said that if you liked the tropics, you'd love it there.

Ape! I found a lovely place for us should we decide to go mobile!
This place would be pure awesomeness for excellent travel through the woods. We'd just have to stock up on beer, tea and munchies for the kitties and pitts!

XD You should keep prodding him. Little places like that are perfect for couples.

Aha! I knew you'd love it!
Now picture us on the shores of a local lake or river in the Rockies, shaving each others heads while the puppies swim and the kitties go to bed after lovely nights beneath the stars, with a pot of water slowly warming on the wood burning stove. Behind us is the converted bus, slowly oozing out small bits of smoke to keep it warm and bringing the kettle to a slow steam ...

I think that's a futon that folds down XD
I might be seriously considering getting us a hotel room next time you visit just so you can sleep peacefully at least for one night.

I'm just teasing. It's actually very endearing and I sleep peacefully every night that I'm with you!
