May 12 – Kalakoa kokua

I’ve been sick for the past several days, but decided to see if I couldn’t get my spinning fiber stash photographed and organized. It’s a lot of work hardly any work at all since I really have any fiber stashed.** Kalakoa decided that she would supervise me as I worked outside where the light is better. She looked so cute that she became my photo of the day.

**Oh, by the way… I have a bridge in the Mojave Desert that I’d like to sell. Wanna buy it?

May 10 – The Grosbeaks have returned!

 

I know that Spring is really here when the Black-Headed Grosbeaks show up at my feeders. This isn’t the best photo, but you get the idea. They’re here to raise their babies, so I’m sure I’ll be getting some better pictures of them.

May 9 – 1952 Chevy Deluxe

This awesome Chevy was following us down Sunshine Valley Road; I pulled over so Nolemana could snap a photo of it. I’m pretty sure it’s a Chevy Deluxe 1952. It was really loud, and wish I’d felt good enough to follow him for awhile and get more photos. My brother Kaniela and I love love love old cars like this. Mahalo, Papa-san, for giving us that gift!

May 6 – Inside or outside

 

I went over to take some haupia to my daughter, Leilani, who’d just had her tonsils out. She can’t have anything dairy right now, and she loves haupia, and I was delighted to make it for her.

We sat out in the back yard, and I couldn’t resist taking this photo of one of their Springer Spaniels trying to decide if he wanted to come out or not through the doggie door. Ho da kewt, yeah?

May 5 – A patriot guard rider

Riding down the road behind me was this Patriot Guard Rider. Luckily he kept going straight while I had to stop for a left turn light and I was able to get his photo.

May 4 – A fantastic conference!

This is the conference that Linda and I went to. My head is still reeling from all that we learned. C. Baxter Kruger was also there, along with several other speakers. Paul Young is the author of “The Shack”, and I feel as though I’ve walked through C.S. Lewis’ tiny wardrobe into the amazing world beyond it.

May 3 – Off to Richland, Washington

My friend Linda and I drove up to Richland today for a conference. As we drove up the Columbia River Gorge, I saw this sign on the back of a semi trailer… Linda and I wondered if it was brewed coffee or beans or what inside the trailer.

Personally, I thought it’d be helpful if there were spigots on the side so that we could fill up our coffee cups as we drove by!

And a gratuitous photo of da day: The lovely Cable Bridge between Kennewick and Pasco, which we drove over. It is an unbelievably lovely bridge!
