March 2020

As I look out the window, the only thing I can see is the ocean. And the wing of the plane, of course. There is a thin layer of clouds toward the horizon and below us, but looking directly down (as well as I can through the window of a plane) the water below usContinue reading “March 2020”

A little bird once told me . . .

One of my favorite spots to spend a few hours in the afternoon is along the shore line to the east of Whittington Pier. Whittington Pier is an old pier that has long been abandoned Also known as Honuapu, this was once the site of a busy sugar cane center with a huge pier thatContinue reading “A little bird once told me . . .”

Crazyness

This pandemic is crazy. Maybe it’s just the people, but this is driving me up a wall. If the government thinks that someone has been killed, they cannot just start locking up everyone. They have to be sure that they are locking up the correct person, and they have to have a warrant from aContinue reading “Crazyness”

Most of the clearing took place next to and below the shed. I cleared an area for my compost toilet. Set a pallet there toContinue reading “November progress”

Return to Hawai’i during the pandemic

Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean that they aren’t out to get you. The first step is always the hardest. I am a procrastinator. I am also a worrier. Once I finally push myself to take that first step, things usually work out for the best. Not always the way I had envisioned, but atContinue reading “Return to Hawai’i during the pandemic”

A Covid Test

Well, I have broken down and done something that I vowed to myself, that I would never do. I went and had a covid-19 test. Not just one, but two!! On the 16th, I am going back to the Big Island. With the current pandemic, Hawaii has gone off the deep end. They have hadContinue reading “A Covid Test”
