Vicky Durand’s Adventure Post

Welcome to Adventure Blog #94

March 1, 2025

Other than the political news it has been another nice week here-lots of sun and little rain. We need rain to fill the water tanks and the pool. Hopefully some is coming on Tuesday. Meanwhile we have been getting the recently cleared hill prepared for potato planting for a ground cover and food. Also going to replant the squash and seeds for a new vegetable garden. I had to get some potting soil from my friend Cheryl as my soil is rich in bugs that eat the seeds. My x-woofer has been with me for ten days and we have been getting a lot done garden wise.

BUT, there is always a lot more and that keeps it interesting.

Inflation has come to Hana. Saw this sign by the cash register when I visited The Ranch Store this morning.

The neighbors bull got out this week and caused a big commotion with the dogs who were very upset. The poor guy is lonely and just needed to get out. It was a while before his owner could get him back in their fence so that was exciting. He was running around the yard, eating a few tee leaves and throwing his heels up.

I am getting more and more comfortable driving my Kawasaki Mule 4 x 4 around the property. It is going to be a great help.  Kira and I took it out on the street driving to a neighbors house to swim in her pool. Very fun, but cold coming back home with wet suits and the wind.

The back yard is shaping up and I love it!

I have been going through some old pictures of this property before I started clearing. It is a rewarding feeling coming this far and I look forward to the next steps.

Unfortunately pictures do not show the original shack, but it was all jungle and soon to be coconuts. The web site is in progress and that will show the before and after and tell about the history.

Gotta run. Happy travels and thanks for tuning in.

Aloha Nui,
