I could spend the rest of my life in this field at Kumo Farms.

Ring around the ankles, yeesh
Wish I could say it was a tan line, but no—when I peeled off my shoes and socks, I realized I’ll go home with more dirt and sand than I will color.
Progress!
From platform...

Ready to work!
The foundation and platform for the house we’re building for Habitat for Humanity’s Global Village on Moloka‘i.
We start the wall framing and siding today, and with luck we’ll get to build and install the roof trusses later in the week.

Sunset in paradise
Another ho-hum end to the day on Maui. ;-)
Monday, July 12, 2010
This was full when we got here 21 hours ago
Not really. But damn, do the bugs in Hawai‘i LOVE them some Julie Anne. Which is good for me, I’m entirely unbitten so far :-D

Winging it
“Feet wet” over the Pacific for the next five hours.
(Not so) Patiently waiting
Quite a collection of bags (and their two people) making this trip to Maui and Molokai.
Gray morning
Lovely and cool in Seattle this morning, a nice counterpoint to the sun and heat of the next two weeks in Hawai‘i.
Yeah yeah, I know it’s a hard life....

Lasagna construction
Rolling out a sheet of pasta.
Making fresh pasta
Julie Anne’s KitchenAid is getting a workout today, first mixing the dough and shortly forming the pasta sheets we’ll use to make lasagna for our friend Neil’s birthday dinner tonight.

Proof that I am, in fact, a cheesy tourist
Walked all over the San Diego Zoo carting this 32-oz drink cup from hell. But hey, free refills!
Eye level to a 90-foot palm tree
Our Town and Country Resort ninth-floor view.

They’re baaaaaaack....
NO ONE should have a stack of pancakes this high. Even for a promotional photo shoot.

2600 in 6
Twenty-six strands of lights and the entire ornament collection all in six hours, to the accompaniment of the “Christmas favorites” iTunes playlist and a lovely dinner of Thanksgiving leftovers. Oh, and a brief pause to watch the lighting of the Westlake tree, the Space Needle, and the KING5 broadcast tower atop Queen Anne Hill.
Been a busy day!

Breakfast is ready
Julie Anne’s home-made cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven. Her first try at scratch-made looks and smells pretty freakin’ good, even before they get their light drizzle of icing.
Stove’s ready
Newly cleaned burners and drip pans in place, a quick test of the burners to be sure we have them seated properly.
Crazy day of cooking may begin now!
Happy Thanksgiving :-D

Beers!
Advantage to an early start to the weekend road trip: Spur-of-the-moment beer stop!

A bit warm
Did NOT expect to find this temperature reading in my living room on the supposed first day of autmn!

I have beaten you!
Only this one time, I'm sure. You're a crafty one, yogurt lid.

I love this clear glass tile
The shadowing effect really appeals to me, not sure why.

Spouting Horn
Blowhole of the Pacific
Beautiful day for snorkeling
Po‘ipu Beach on Kaua‘i’s south shore.

Fashionable chickens?
Accent wallpaper pays amusing homage to the ubiquitous fowl at Kountry Kitchen in Kapa‘a.

Wailua Bay
The view from our third-floor lanai on the east side of Kaua‘i

Today’s unnecessary diacriticals
New hot-yoga place atop Queen Anne Hill.

A proper martini
By size, anyway.

Beer menu tent
Gotta keep the suds cool on this absolutely SPECTACULAR Seattle Saturday afternoon.
Friday, May 29, 2009
Al fresco appy
Crispy breaded shrimp with Audacious Apricot Ale marmalade. Shit’s good.
Saturday, May 23, 2009
Planting insanity!
Julie Anne’s gardening desires have exploded all over her balcony: Tomatoes, flowers, herbs everywhere!
Saturday, May 16, 2009
So stylish in my RolLens shades
Eye exam included dilation. SO SO BRIGHT. Damned sun!

Korean Hornbeam No. 215
Katharine wanted a photo of this tree in full foliage, but it seems her desire is meant to go unfulfilled.
Chinese elm No. 309
Weyerhaeuser’s bonsai collection is just amazing.

Unburnt
Building across the alley after this morning’s fire alarm. No fire, thankfully. Just an early wake-up call for the entire neighborhood.

Easter in the making
27 eggs boiled, two rolls of paper towels, and two egg-coloring kits later, we have:
22 Easter eggs. :-)

When religion and pop culture collide
We actually made a U-turn to come back to this sign, which deserves ridicule like no other church sign I’ve seen.
FOOL
They can’t trick me with their fancy spelling.

Sunday diversion
But you can’t see the beers from this angle.

Drizzly laundry day
Woke to the sound of rain on the windows, the weather radar tells the tale.

In case it isn’t clear
Julie Anne’s Pilates studio reminds you to park carefully.

Lovely finish
Chocolate mousse cake—very light, astonishingly delicious—and coffee at Atlas Foods.
Instead of Early Bird Specials
The daily saver item is the Blue Plate Special. Reminds me vaguely of my Kmart days.
Clearly I shouldn’t be trusted with the cream pitcher
Cannot pour to save my life, dammit!

Mickey O’Mouse?
Leprechaun Disneyland antenna topper for the month of March. :-)

A little breezy and a bit cooler, but oh the gorgeous sunlight!
In the middle take 2
That's what we want to see, little to nothing on the weather radar
