Day 23 of 30

Today we moved our tomato plants from their crowded little pot and gave each of them their own. We also thinned down the papayas to just the biggest healthiest tree and gave it a monster pot to grow in. Oh yeah we started some basil too:)

Zoomed in on a 4" Papaya tree

Kamma's getting the tomatoes tied to their sticks so the fruit will stay up out of the dirt.

It's so fun to watch the papaya tree grow and change!

Yay spinach! Grew so fast!

Day 22 of 30

My (Kamma) view from the Ocean tower Kimo Bean as I enjoyed a cup of joe with Michael after I got off work today...just lovely :)

Fearless birds!

Day 21 of 30

Michael and I got to volunteer with the Kimo Bean for the Waikoloa Wine Fest at the Hilton tonight...we had tons of fun!!

Michael and his manager's son, Tim.

Cool looking band-shell.

We even got to see fireworks at the end of the evening. The last band playing was the guy who wrote the theme to "Ghost Busters" and that's what they played during the fireworks!

Day 20 of 30

Beautiful Kohala Mountain, on the drive to Waimea.

We had fun getting library cards and gardening supplies at Ace, and decided to stop for a treat...(coconut cream filled donut-yumm!)

We came home to discover a bunch of wild goats on the golf course outside our back door!
All five of these guys are massive, with huge horns!!

Watch out for that golf cart, Brah!

Day 19 of 30

69 Beach this morning...

Apparently it was a good day for snorkeling!

I (Kamma) enjoyed a coffee in Kona at a shop on Alii drive, right on the water...beautiful, relaxing and peaceful!

Day 18 of 30

We got the chance to hang out with this couple from Paris, France this morning, Francois and Susan. Michael and Jay met them yesterday at the Kimo Bean, and since Jay's dad is also French, he invited them for breakfast this morning to meet his parents and hang out. We had yummy food, and listened to lots of fast French being spoken. They are wanting to move here, and said they were inspired by our story. It was lots of fun, and hopefully we'll see them again, either here or in France, you never know!

Day 17 of 30

Great food...

And amazing papaya pineapple crisp and french press coffee!


"...love burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame...
many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away..."
