Thank you, Nobi, and believe it or not it was very, very chilly here for us last night and this morning. I think Patty can attest to that as well!
Thank you, too, Randy! And I know you, as well as Patty, have seen even bigger and better ones!
And Mahalo to you, Patty! You know how much it rains over here so they show up quite a bit, it's just trying to find them at the right place without wires or some other distraction in the way!
I appreciate your stopping by with your generous responses and support, and thank you all very much. Have a super weekend!
