While traveling past the lookout on the highway just outside of Na’alehu, I spotted a whale splashing out in the bay. Birds It took a while after I returned for the birds to acknowledge I was back and start coming to the feeder. My first visitor was a single red headed cardinal, or a redContinue reading “Wildlife”

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”

Wednesday I used the last of the propane last night fixing dinner and had none this morning for breakfast. I was also down to one pair of clean socks, so I decided to do laundry this morning first. As I was washing some shirts, something caught my eye up in the branches just above myContinue reading “March 1, 2023”

Saturday Rain again all day. In the morning, there was a thick fog that I could not see further than 100 feet away. By 10 am the morning for has cleared (as if Richard Harris has made a royal decree). Light drizzle all day long. Went to OceanView to the UCart Concrete place and pickedContinue reading “February 18, 2023”
