Disappointment

Lāpule, Iaunali Iwakālua Kūmāwalu,

Hoka with Google and Blogger.  All my posts with pictures have gone away.  They keep making changes and the result is MY CONTENT is deleted.  So much for free speech.  I do not do political posts on this blog.  You can see my political rantings at Wordpress.  This is so disappointing.

Till next time, a hui hou.

Farmers Market

Pō'akolu, Iaunali 'Umi Kūmālima,

In the Hawaiian language, "Mahi 'ai" means farms.  We have a lot of farms here.  Most are small and some are large.  We also have Farmers markets!


Popular places to shop for food and many different kinds of things.

Tuesday's Expanse

Pō'alua, Ianuali Iwakālua Kūmāhā,


The weather has the winds from the south east blowing VOG towards the outer islands.  For us it is a day of trade winds, puffy clouds and variable breezes.  The VOG hasn't been as bad as it has in past years, and that's a good thing.

My Day Off

Pō'aono, Iaunali Iwakālua Kūmākahi,

Finally I have a day off and I can do whatever I want.  I want to relax with a cold drink and a fire.



The viewing area!



The cold drink of choice is cranberry juice on ice!


The Stage is set!


The entertainment has begun!  It's better than watching TV!  The sky is clear and the Milky Way is clearly visible!

More Orchids

Pō'akolu, Iaunali 'Umi Kūmāwalu,


We have such beautiful orchids here on the Big Island.  These are grown around the base of an 'Ōhi'a Tree.  We attach the orchid to the tree using string and within a years time, these are the flowers that bloom!

Hawaiian Car Alarm

Lāpule, Iaunali 'Umi Kūmālima,

This morning was a crisp chilly morning.  The vog has settled out, but the winds are variable, so that means the vog can return.  Went shopping for provisions in Hilo.  I saw an interesting car alarm.

VOG

Pō'aono, Iaunali 'Umi Kūmāhā,

The air this morning was filled with VOG.  The volcano's sulfur smoke drifts to the east side of the island in the winter months.  This year the vog isn't as bad as it has been.  Halema'uma'u crater isn't producing that much vog as it has in the past.  That's a good thing.


The vog makes everything look hazy.  It looks like Kona.
