Monday
For the past week, I have been sorting through everything and separating what I want to take back with me to Arizona on the 17th – if not physically, at least mentally. The main things will be my journal, and the dirty sheets and pillowcases from the bed.
Today, I poured the 5th section of concrete between the columns at the Ahi gazebo. The 6th section still has some large rocks protruding above the surface of the new concrete, so I will need to find some way to remove them – a hammer and chisel? a large prybar? a jackhammer?
I also hauled more of the sand and gravel from the pile in the driveway. I have been stockpiling it at the base of the driveway for use in mixing concrete later. I have left only about 4 or 5 wheelbarrow loads at the top of the driveway. This clears the driveway so I can now back the car down. It does not slide quite as much going down, but the loose fill makes it want to sink in and lose traction. With all-wheel drive, it is still do-able though!
After spending a few days on Maui, I did not see my bird friends I call Bert and Ernie for a few days. They have returned to coming to the feeder.
Other birds are also coming in to grab a bite to eat.
I also saw a pair of different lizards – different than geckos, and Jackson Chameleons – out in the driveway at Holowai on the pile of lumber and pallets.
By researching on-line, I find that these are Green Anole lizards.
They apparently are territorial, and these two do not seem to be getting along.
TTFN
