Have returned to the Big Island. Flew in last night, but dark and pouring rain sent me straignt to my little abode, a shower and sleep. Late this morning I ventured out to the land....
The orchard has been neglected all week. Several trees appear to be in shock, while most are standing tall and happy. Hard to figure that one out. The ground is moist. I will have to just add a lot of potting soil to the sad ones or dig them up and pot them for care on my porch. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
I am renewed about going forward however and plan a full week starting Monday with fencing, planting, and maybe answering an as I saw for a couple goats. The there is the shelter building; that HAS to commence this week too. The new year is upon us and there is much to be done.
This all having bneen said, it was totally refreshing to just walk down my wonderful road this afternoon and see this land that has so captured my heart. The air is warm. The sky is blue with powder puffs of clouds floating around for this afternoon's showers. The light is bright and it all makes me feel alive. I LOVE THIS ISLAND!
May you live in interesting times.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
