BOB
AND CAMILLE AT HOME ON MAUI
CAMPING IN KIPAHULU
Camille and Shaun doing a
little relaxing in camp. It was fun to see the surprised looks on
people’s faces after they realized that both cars are run on used cooking
oil.
Camille seen here leaving the
luxury of camp. This is the path we took when we wanted to stretch our
legs. It led to a overlook from which we were able to see The Big
Island to the south.
Shaun sits in the dark with
his sunglasses on to avoid the conspicuously bright light from a nearby
campground. Camille heats up vegan curry and ramen noodles for dinner.
THE KEIKI ZOO
This old gobbler and Squirt,
the giraffe call Kula their home. Squirt came from Oahu soon after he
was weaned. The Honolulu Zoo leased him out because they already had
enough male giraffes in their herd.
MARGIE AND TIM COME TO MAUI
Margie and Tim Klitch, friends
from Colorado came to Maui for a week’s vacation and we got together for
some good times in the garden . . .
And at Casanova Italian
Restaurant in Makawao.
SUNDAY POLO
This is one of our favorite
spectator sports. It’s very exciting to feel the ground tremble when
the field gallops by. We sat in the shade of the trees to the left of
the arena. We brought food and chairs, met up with Cynthia and settled
in for a lazy afternoon.
THE STAFF OF LIFE
One of our new friends gave us
the recipe for this impressive bread which tastes as good as it looks.
This is how it looked before it went into the oven. It was
surprisingly easy to braid with four strips of dough rather than three and
as the recipe stated, resulted in a much prettier loaf. The process is
different in that you always start from same side. You work each strip
under, over and under the other three strips.
THE MAKING OF A COMPOST
PILE…
Is as easy as 1,2,3.
First we staged the ingredients and added them in layers like lasagna.
Next, Bob watered it down. Finally, we covered it with a tarp to
encourage heat and discourage chickens.
THE SEASON OF ABUNDANCE
No wonder we’re having soup
and/or salad with bread nearly every night! Beets on the left, chard
on the right and lettuce and arugula on the far end – all growing happily
beneath the ylang-ylang tree.
GROUNDS FOR VISUAL PLEASURE
It seems everything we cast
our eyes upon these days is in bloom. What a beautiful time of
year! Our (bulldozed) berm has come a long way with an “eye”
of fragrant thyme amid the hearts and flowers. Add irrepressible
artichoke, bright fuschia, impatiens and night blooming jasmine for a
visual delight. The agapanthus we freed from the grass last year is
rewarding us richly all the way down the driveway.
