Wednesday The load of 2 1/2″ minus sand and gravel arrived at the Holowai lot around 7:30 AM. I had the truck driver dump it just outside the double gates. It extended from the rock column supporting the gate to the roadway where vehicles travel. There is room for vehicles to get past, but I probably shouldContinue reading “September 6, 2023”

These are the weeds that produce those pesky little furry seeds that cling to cloth surfaces that comes nearContinue reading “September 2, 2023”

Tuesday Spent the morning at the Ahi lot clearing the grass on the Kona side of the driveway. Also cleared a little on the Hilo side at the bottom of the drive. The gravel on the driveway is loose and difficult to drive up the driveway. I’m convinced that a two wheel drive vehicle would not beContinue reading “August 29, 2023”

Monday Grover came by for breakfast. On Saturday, I crumbled up a cracker into the wooden bird feeder I made during my last trip. Around noon, a red cardinal flew into the tree branches above the lania outside the gazebo. He was not as bright red as the others I had seen on previous trips, in fact,Continue reading “August 28, 2023”
