December





We have several free-range pet geckos now


Before leaving for Texas I cooked and froze the ripe and almost ripe pumpkins (I froze 16 pounds, we ate 5 more)

Lots of beachtrash these days


Afternoon north Lydgate (or south Wailua…)


Macrocybe spectabilis, while generally regarded as edible and even sold at the farmer’s market it is not recommended in Hawaii…

Leilani loves to bake. We made 7 different cookies, here she’s finishing Vanillekipferl, very similar to crescent cookies

Our New Table

We are transferring the garage int a workshop and craft space, when we needed a new table I got an old door and 2 school desks at the Re-Store thrift store and had a handyman make it into a table. I sanded, painted and Leilani and I cut out the flowers and decoupaged them on with polyurethane, and then Andy and I poured on resin for the smoothest and hardest finish ever. The problem is, now I want it as my kitchen table, not in the garage…




Going to bed

Going to bed may well be the most important part of your day. “Why?” Because you need sleep to begin your morning.When people don’t get enough sleep it can be be hard for them to concentrate and solve problems: “where did I leave my shoes?”, “What’s his phone number?”, “Why did the Europeans colonize the Americas?”

And that is why it’s important to go to bed.Sonja adds: That’s not Leilani, but Bennu who doesn’t have to be prompted to go to bed and never needs to write any paragraphs like the above…
