"But in our troubled time, the right of men to think and worship as their conscience dictates is being sorely pressed. We can retain these privileges only by being constantly on guard and fighting off any encroachment on these precepts. To retreat from any of the principles handed down by our forefathers, who shed their blood for the ideals we still embrace, would be a complete victory for those who would destroy liberty and justice for the individual--Walt Disney~

easons in review..

"The wind is blowing foreward, foreward foreward

Out of this day into the next

Out of this week, into the following one

And from this one into another..

Try as we might to hold on to the Sycamores

And whatever familiar landscapes surround us

Gradually we lose our grip and

Are swept into a river of tomorrows"

Herb Benham~

Last Winter everyone was excited for Spring to come..

Summer's gone now, 

Soon we'll say goodby to Fall~

Watching a biker on the fly

While an afternoon slipped by..

into the darkness

(Gazebo-style bandstand- Mooheau Park downtown Hilo)

We had an early snow fall this year
but haven't had a chance to take a drive up to the Mountain yet..

These was taken a year ago January-

"What is life?

It is a flash of a firefly in the night

It is the breath of a buffalo  fox in the Wintertime

It is the little shadow

Which runs across the grass snow

And loses itself in the sunset"
