January 2018

Harvest from our yard when we came home from our Christmas trip

Julie is a lap-dog?

We found a dog on a hike and it had a phone number on the collar, so we called the owner. Waiting at the arboretum.


A historic photo. The crossing has been washed out in the recent storms. Good thing they built the bridge…

Julie found something in the bushes picked it up and threw it in the surf, watching it excitedly. Andy went to check and found it was a tiny chick. He picked it up, scolded Julie and dried it under his coat. It was a really cold day, getting dark and the mother hen was nowhere to be found. We made the decision to take it home and try to return it in the morning, but didn’t expect it to live. The next morning it did not just live, it had also imprinted on me and Leilani, and wanted to be held all the time. Leilani named it June, hoping it was a hen.

Preparation for Valentine’s Crafts at the Makerspace

Was not fun waking up to this. We took it seriously for 15 minutes.

June the chick – who later turned out to be Hehe the rooster.

June loved my hair. Probably the only one in the universe to feel like that.

Due to my injured ankle I had lots of time for June

So June would not be all alone we got two laying hens. May and Augi, who later also turned out to be a rooster…

Julie is obsessed with the chicks

Speaking of Julie…

I could not go to Oahu with Andy and Leilani, and need them to post some pictures here.

Andy got a trailer!



Ominous clouds – it was the rainiest time in decades, historic flooding in Hanalei, and 2 inches of water in our garage / craftsroom.


First day of valentine’s crafts at the makerspace


Another attempt of getting the chargers fixed.



I don’t often post selfies…

Hehe has grown quite a bit in a month.
