NEW SHOES…
for Bob and Camille, bought
over the Internet and received a week later in the mail.
Bob also bought Camille these
cozy slippers as an early Birthday Present. They will keep her feet
toasty during this long, cold winter we are having. Bob has already
begun celebrating Camille’s 50th birthday with gifts!
WORST MAUI WINTER ON RECORD
Many of the days during the
last three months have looked like this – grey, wet and blustery.
LONG NIGHTS AND WET DAYS
The dawn has been slow in
coming on these overcast days. Here is a picture of predawn hibiscus
bloom outside our home on March 2nd and one dripping with rain on the 14th.
JENNIFER’S FAMILY HOME
This is Waihee valley, where
Jennifer’s husband’s family has lived for generations.
This is the old homestead that
they had moved from not too far away into this new spot. Jennifer and
Paul have their work cut out for them but will soon be enjoying an
idyllic life away from the hustle and bustle of town.
ALOHA GLASS RECYCLING
This is a mountain of crushed
glass ready for use in Maui’s highway projects. There are a a couple
of thousands tons in this glass pile.
The lagoon behind Aloha
Recycling is fringed with date palms and stocked with hungry fish who leap
out of the water in anticipation of treats when they see anyone coming.
ALOHA’S HIBISCUS HEDGE
On the 24th, Camille took on
the final piece of this hedge with a pair of loppers Tom had brought to
work.
A few pints of sweat and a
couple of calluses yielded this better, brand new look.
RADICCHIO
These impressive heads of
radicchio are new to our garden. Bob is reading up on them to learn
out how to properly grow and process them. This crop, while
ornamental, was too bitter for our liking.
NONE OF YOUR BEESWAX
Bob lights up our life with
these beautiful homemade beeswax candles.
STOPPING BY TO SMELL THE ROSES
Pamela came by on the 26th in
her black Converse All Stars and John took her on a olfactory tour of his
rose garden.
VEGETABLE GARDEN OR PARKING
LOT?
Bob has moved the lettuce
garden to the south side of the house for the winter and our little car is
more than happy to share its space.
THE HAPPY SENTINEL
On the 28th, we had a dry
Sunday morning and used it to work outside. One of our projects was
the renovation of our entrance garden with its earnest little
sentinel. He has lots to smile about now.
