It Finally Arrived

The coconut we mailed to our neighbors on September 27 from Kauai arrived this past Saturday. Dave and I had almost given up hope that it would ever get here, but Bob and Margaret were pleasantly surprised - which was the reason we sent it!

POP, POP! In Jen's Backyard

In the fall, wisteria seed pods audibly pop their pods and their seeds go flying - is what Jen discovered happening in her back yard. The seeds can fly distances up to 70 feet! Another of Mother Nature's survival surprises! And good for a chuckle.

We Loved Kauái

Yes, I took lots of sunrise photos since Dave and I stayed on the east side of Kauái by the ocean (Sept. 22-29). And as expected, I have lots of flower photos too - many taken at the Hindu Monastery. As for animals, roosters awakened us every morning and crowed all during the day too. Oh yes, look for the photo of our hotel room guest - hint: on the wall by the mirror. Enjoy the show (not all 600+ that I took, just a little over 200.) Click on the photo below, then click on 'Slideshow'.

Kaua'i 9-2009

Yes, It's Green!

Laura is the one who insisted on green. (A traditional white cast for my broken wrist would have been fine with me.) Other choices: pink, blue, black, etc. I'm not at all fond of wearing a cast, but I didn't have a choice after a rock on the Franklin trail tripped me as Dave and I headed down hill Sunday, October 4 - which also was Laura and Bryan's 23rd wedding anniversary.
