Welcome to Blog #101
May 11, 2025
I am a day late with this blog because most of yesterday was spent working with Heide to get my Koali Niu website up and running. I now have three domains-Koaliniu.farm, Koaliniu.org, and Koaliniu.com. Right now it is under Koaliniu.farm. At our next board meeting in a few weeks we will decide which one to focus on.
There are still glitches Because I can pull up the site from my phone, but not my computer. Hoping to get that fixed tomorrow. We will be adding much more to the web site as we go along and this is just the beginning.
Now that we are a non profit there have some promised donations. It will be interesting to see if and when they show up. Every little or big contribution helps with this project. We will be naming coconut trees after large donors.
It has now been a month since my knee replacement and I am still struggling with painful PT and getting around. I can ride my Kawasaki Mule around the property to feed the cats and I can hobble around to feed myself and take care of necessities. It is always interesting and thought provoking to see who shows up and who doesn’t show up to help in a time of need….
It has been a beautiful week here with my favorite flowers the gardenia and pakalana blooming profusely.
I am swamped with taro, breadfruit, papayas, arugula, watercress, and cherry tomatoes. There is no way anyone could possibly starve out here. Before moving here some friends asked how I was going to get food. HA Ha ….This is the “bread basket” it was hundreds of years ago for thousands of Hawaiians.
The Mid Week article came out just in time for Motherʻs Day and I am pretty happy with it. I had THE BEST MOTHER and I am grateful everyday to have had such a shining example of what a great mother can be.
HAPPY Mother’s DAY TO EVERYONE and may we have a world a the best possible mothers.
ALOHA NUI,
Vicky
