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”

Sunday Spent the day cutting the grass along Holowai Road. I cleaned up the frontage of both lots. There’s gotta be a better way of doing this than using my hand clippers! Hauled the grass back to the chipper. After it dries for a few days, I’ll run it through the chipper. It was hot all day,Continue reading “August 27, 2023”

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 ofContinue reading “May 15, 2023”

Sunday This morning, I went down to the ocean to watch the waves. The tide was in and the waves were crashing against the lava. The water even was flowing over the initial lava at the shore into an area that typically has very little water. My wading pool was full and overflowing into theContinue reading “May 14, 2023”

Early November called for a return to the Big Island. Changing planes in Oakland The approach to the island was much the same as usual, lots of clouds gathered around the mountains covering their mid elevations with the peaks of the volcanoes poking their heads through. Mauna Loa with the east coast of Hawaii AContinue reading “November 2022”
