December 3, 2025 Yesterday, I went into OceanView and did some laundry. The wet clothes sat in the back seat of the truck until this morning when I hung them out to dry on some ropes strung up between the trees!

WOW! It’s July Already!
July 1, 2025 My neighbor had shiped his artwork and display racks to Oahu for the Haleiwa Arts Festival a couple of weeks ago, and then had to ship it back to Hawai’i island after the festival was over.

Hello, Charlie!
May 20, 2025 The female Northern Cardinal is getting bolder, and showing up more often at the feeder. She is not as agressive as the male, in that she will wait her turn, . . . but once she is in the feeder, she will not allow others to join her – except the maleContinue reading “Hello, Charlie!”
Alone on the Island
May 6, 2025 Now that Alanah has returned to the mainland, I can concentrate on work. But first, I have to feed the birds. I put the cracker crumbs in the feeder, but they can’t seem to decide who will venture forth first! It seems that the honeycreepers are the boldest! I have reinstalled theContinue reading “Alone on the Island”
Hmmmmmmm . . .
Timmy Hummingbird sat on the rope near the nest looking around him. After spending the last month or so, confined within the small nest with his older sister Sally, it was great to be out where he could stetch. He could preen his feathers, and clean his wings with ease out here. And, every onceContinue reading “Hmmmmmmm . . .”

Rule the Roost
September 22, 2024 The red headed cardinals are becoming a regular visitor to my feeder. Sometimes they come in pairs, and sometimes they come one at a time. m Inevitably, they are followed by the larger Northern Red Cardinal who prefers to chase all the other birds away and tries to rule the roost, soContinue reading “Rule the Roost”
