Daily hummingbird.
Daily pīpī.

I have two feeders up! You’d think they could share.

Food delivery day.
Bunny in da grass.
The mountain was out again, framed between Kousa dogwoods.
Daily pīpī: Hōkū, Lani Moo, and Kiko.

June 21st

I started a new pair of socks. I like non-matching socks. I coulda matched them but didn’t want to.

Daylilies blooming.
Daily pīpī.

Daily pīpī.

June 23rd

Grosbeak and Tanager sharing the feeder!
Pop and Mom Grosbeak.
Song Sparrow!
I finished a pair of socks.
Daily pīpī. It’s unusual to get all for of them at the same time these days; the kids are very independent, especially Kiko.
Try look how big he’s getting! Definitely a bull calf.

Zinnias have bloomed!

Daily hummingbird.

June 24th

Had to have toenail surgery today.

I took choke photos of the daily hummingbird today:

Daily hummingbird.
I’ve never seen the hummers land on the frame of the feeder before.

No pīpī photos today; my toe hurt so I wasn’t up much.

June 25th

Our dishwasher was leaking and Rick came to see if he could figure out why. Those magnetic signs on the front of my dishwasher? Well, when I had my first knee surgery, one of the gym posse made them for me. (I have since persuaded them to stop calling me “Mook” once I found out what it means.
Daily hummingbird.

My Bird of Paradise went crazy this year! I had nine flowers!

Hairy woodpecker.

And another day with no pīpī. Sigh…

    Wow, laulau, yo lānai so uluwehiwehi and nani!

    I’m sorry your toe is hurting so much. I hope you’re healing quickly.

    I don’t blame da pīpī for hiding in da shade. You guys have been hotter than we have, and I’ve been chasing shade too.

      Still ho da hot! I have to wear a sock on my left foot because still sore my toe (doc said it could take a month to heal). It’s hard to wear sandals or tennies, but the sock helps.

      I love our lānai in the summer! Wish I could share the tomatoes with the two of you!

      Should be one more day of major hot, but the next week will still be hotter than I like.
