Kilauea Garden

I’m taking a class at KCC in sustainable gardening and farming, and I have to put in 4 work hours a week at select Kauai farms and gardens





The Ti-Berries are in our own yard – just didn’t know where else to put the photo…

Mayday 2011 at School

Island School puts up a great performance for Mayday



The Kindergarteners did the Taro Patch Twist. I hope to be posting a video one of these days…






Birds, Art and the Arboretum

What do these have in common? In the old days they would have been on the same roll of film… 9 days worth of photos:

We found an injured Sheawater at Kealia. The wing was broken, but the bird was tame and so trusting. After we had him at home for a day or so we turned him over to the Save the Sheawaters people, who thought he’d never fly again. Leilani and I cried a lot when we heard they hed to put him down.

Happier bird pictures

Oh, so herzig. (sorry that’s German and does not translate)

Leilani was asked to draw a picture of herself having a bad attitude in art class. The text says: Oh, I want this dress, Mommy can I please have one of (continues on the other side of Leilani at the bottom) the dresses? I answer: “No Leilani, for your Birthday Leilani”

On May 1st we went to the Arboretum with Jaya, Leela and their parents




I gave up schedules and todo lists. But now Leilani starts them.

Easter 2011


We tried to crop the mess out of the photos, but on this one it was not so successful. And Andy warned me not to name the photo 110423-easter-tofix.jpg’ and I was certain I’d notice before it went on the blog, photoshop it and post it with a nice name…



Playing at Lydgate

April 22 we went to Lydgate to play




The pool itself was closed, and just recently (now it’s June) reopened
