Welcome to BLOG #112
October 12, 20025
I missed last week’s blog as I had a stomach bug and was just missing the urge for words.
During the last two weeks we continue work on restoring the old walls and it is getting to be a gorgeous sight looking up the hill and seeing them so perfectly being reshaped. Thanks to a generous donor Ben comes once a week and is making great head way.
The Outstanding tentalo was finally delivered this last week and it lays under cover until James can build a platform for it to sit on. After that the tent should go up in two days. Some bush clearing needs to be done and I am going to try and oil the wooden support poles. Having the tent is going to give me a lot more flexibility with farm help plus other things.
My hanai daughter Sarah came out for a few days this week and we had two great mornings at the beach before the crowds arrived. The water at Hamoa is crystal clear and so beautiful this time of year. Sarah also helped rake up some leaves and made a big beautiful fire for the full moon night. I always look forward to her visits.
We have hardly any rain so still watching the water use. The waterfall at the top of the property is still trickling however.
The hill is full of squash and we are harvesting them by the bucket loads. Also the banana trees are full of bunches and I need to find a market for the produce asap.
I took time out from writing this to watch the men’s Molokai to Oahu race. Was hoping to see our Hana team in one of the four koa canoes in the race. Unfortunately the TV coverage just stopped and they are still out there hopefully soon to land. I can’t seem to find coverage so am going to wind this up so I can go on to other projects.
During the past two weeks I have gotten to a lot of projects that had to wait for my recovery. I am now doing my own PT at home and walking better every day. It is a long and slow process, but happening. And, it is great getting back to the many projects around here.
Yesterday was weeding and trimming ti leaves down below and Mana helped me.
Thanks for tuning in and wishing everyone a super week in the midst of world choas.
Aloha Nui,
