January 31, 2004 Yesterday's warmer weather and sunshine did not carry over to today unfortunately. Kiawah is gray and very overcast this morning. Still, it is the week-end! And whether it seems apparent currently or not, we are slowly, inexorably headed towards spring! The daylight today will hang around for 10 hours and 36 minutes, but tomorrow will be one minute and 36 seconds longer. More and more daylight is a very good thing! Did you know? Today is Inspire Your Heart With Art Day! Maybe you would like to head down to the Gibbes Museum of Art and be inspired? Or perhaps you will make some art of your own? Some fun things to do today:

January 30, 2004 It is just a wee bit warmer on Kiawah this morning. It is gray and cloudy, but noticeably warmer. Let us hope this weather is a harbinger for a nicer week-end! The sunset last night on Kiawah was amazing - there were plum-colored clouds at the edge of the horizon, with a variety of pinks and pale oranges fanning out on top of them. Kiawah is fortunate to have some of the most wonderful sunrises and sunsets...have you treated yourself to one lately? Did you know? On this date in history:

January 29, 2004 Kiawah has awakened to another cold morning. There is once again ice in the bird baths, and frost on the windows. Our northern cousins are no doubt wishing they were here rather than in the midst of their snow, but some folks on Kiawah are wishing they were in the Caribbean somewhere! Did you know? Today is Freethinkers Day! It is celebrated each year on the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Paine, a leader of the American Revolution and author of Common Sense. Some fun things to do today:

January 28, 2004 OK! Enough already! Wasn't Mother Nature supposed to cooperate and send us a wee bit of warm weather this week? But noooo... we get freezing temperatures instead. The bird bath is frozen over this morning! Now that is cold! Kiawah is a far cry from a tropical paradise this morning. But at least it is sunny for the first time this week. Something fun to do today: Need a little fun in the midst of all this cold weather?

January 27, 2004 Winter is certainly hanging out on Kiawah these days. This morning is gray and drizzly. It is not supposed to warm up much either! Sometime today you might want to haul out your plastic or sheets to cover your plants, as tonight should be below freezing. Is it too early to yearn for spring? Today's photo was taken by Ron Pollitt of Dungannon Hall. Ron saw this bobcat in his backyard - he has named the photo "Lookin' For Love". Did you know?

January 26, 2004 What happened to the warmer weather? It appears that Saturday was just a brief respite from winter, as Kiawah once again awakened to a gray cool morning. We are far better off than our inland neighbors however. There is a winter weather advisory inland until noon, with the possibility of freezing rain. Yikes! We have escaped rain thus far, but could receive some this afternoon. Let's hope it is not the freezing variety!

J An eagle update: For the past few weeks, one or both of the bald eagles near the front gate have been spotted perched on the edge of the nest, leaning into it.

Something fun to do today: In the spirit of Bald Eagle Appreciation Day, why not head down to Kiawah's front gate and check out our resident bald eagles?

January 3, 2004 Once again Mother Nature has blessed Kiawah with a wonderful sunny morning. It certainly would appear that we have a fabulous week-end ahead of us! This probably makes some folks a bit sad. After two solid weeks of a "packed" island for the holidays, many folks are headed back home. At least they are getting a nice send off before heading back! Did you know? The Town of Kiawah Island will soon be offering recycling cart wheel kits. After January 20, 2004, you can pick up a kit for $15. No more back problems from hauling your recycling cart to curbside! You can contact Rusty at the Town Hall at 768-9166 for more information. Today's Kiawah Critter Count: One bald eagle, two does, one big fat pelican, seven bottle-nosed dolphins, two great blue herons, four double-crested cormorants, and three hungry raccoons. It is 50 degrees at 8:15 a.m. this morning. Today's temperature is supposed to be in the high sixties. The low tonight should be near fifty. January 2, 2004 Kiawah is beautiful and sunny this morning! It is a bit chilly when you walk outside, but you could easily do your morning walk in a sweatshirt. Isn't this why we all love living in South Carolina? Who says it is winter? Joe Zambito has passed along a photo of Kiawah's beach on the first day of 2004. Although there are none in the photo, loads of people were out and about enjoying the lovely weather. Did you know?

Our first day of 2004 has dawned sunny and beautiful. It is another lovely Kiawah morning! Here's hoping that you are feeling well enough to appreciate the terrific weather - and are not *too* hung over from celebrating out on the town last night! Something fun to do today: If you are up and hungry for sustenance, you may want to check out the breakfasts and brunch offered by the resort. The Town Center is serving breakfast at the market, and a continental breakfast is offered at the West Beach Market. But the piece de resistance is the New Year's Day Brunch at The Atlantic Room.
