After one week of living in Hana, I’ve not so slowly come to the realization that there’s no typical day at Hana Tropicals. This morning, to my utmost anticipated delight, Chelsea and I got our hands in the vegetable garden! As I went to harvest some lettuce for a potluck several days ago, saw that almost all had gone to seed. They were no longer were pleasing to the taste buds, as Chelsea’s face expression clearly showed today after she doubted my knowledge of lettuce that’s a day old and a dollar short. If any of you out there share my love of vegetable gardening, you know that satisfying feeling of yanking out the overgrown to make room for new life, the joy of dirty fingernails, and knowing soon enough it’ll blossom with delicious food. And soon enough we shall have harvestable veggies, as soon as we plant new seeds in. Everything grows much faster here in Hawaii.
Today also found me practicing my ever developing skills driving a stick shift, as Happy took me out in the Fuguly. So with no doors and ducktape holding together part of the front windshield, I was truckin’ along the farm roads of Hana Tropicals, staling more than I would have like, but patient Happy just reminded me, “You got all the time in the world, girl.”
Next stop on today’s agenda, a meeting on the beach with beer. A tradition Krista delightfully carries out weekly. :)
That’s all for now from sunny Hana.
Aloha.
