11 Days

What I will miss in Grenada: The natural beauty. It really is pretty here. I could stare at the scenery for hours if my kids would let me. There's the rain forest, the beaches, the flowers, the Caribbean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, the waterfalls, and so many other picturesque sights in my constant view. I am always in awe as I look around that the great place I have been blessed to live in.







What I will like in America: Changing seasons. Grenada does technically have two seasons: the wet and the dry. Really it's more like the really hot and really rainy, and the really hot and sort of rainy. I love the colors and the crunch of leaves in autumn. I love playing in the snow, then getting warm by the fire. I love seeing the birds come back in the spring and all the trees blossoming at the same time, and after all that, three months of summer is nice. When I was a kid I'd watch "White Christmas" and laugh when one of the characters sang that she wanted to wash her hair with snow. I understand that desire now.
