Bob was back

 I m very excited to report that 4 Bitter Melon seeds have sprouted into a small forest in my pot. I actually had to transfer it to a bigger pot, so as not to make it feel squashed. The folks at my church had differing opinions on whether this melon is horrible tasting or good. I have never tried it, so I'm looking forward to a new taste experience.


Stephanotis, I think. I didn't even notice the plant, until I smelled the wonderful fragrance.


Dragonflies...yes, one was attached to another!


Ms. Boxer likes to ensure that she misses no crumbs from her big biscuit.
And takes her nap on my foot, so I can't leave. It is nice to be wanted.

Bitter Melon has grown even more than this photo!

God's rays and palm tree.
She had just completed her 90 mph run and was tired...
This cute little furball was a foster for a few days. But apparently the hair requires de-tangling. Not his fave.

The Boxer was somewhat jealous at first, but really just wanted to play. Unfortunately, one Boxer paw could smash the little girl.


Rainbows - Always welcome.


Clouds still amaze me.

As do rainbows, especially at sea.

I couldn't see well enough to tell the type of bird.


Nene

How could one ever discipline such a cute face. Her bark, though rare, is very cute too.

Boxer checking on furball.


I used to see these a lot on Oahu.


"Really? No more treats?"


Nice palms with the bonus of great clouds.

And rainbows





Morning

The pink of the cloud didn't really translate, but I like the muted pinks, blues and grays.
Sad end to a dragonfly. 




Mr. Lizard in his "cage" on the jalousie.


You can see a bit of the drool on the pavement. She really likes those treats.


The shoots happen on the edge of the leaves.


Bob returns! He had eschewed his usual rock. I only spotted him because I was walking.


Soursop fruit. No idea what it tastes like.

That's all for this week. I am sorry to say that we are experiencing heat already. And it's not even June yet!
 Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful week.

If computers were easy, I'd be rich!

 Hello! Long time, no blog. Old computer didn't want to celebrate 2023, so it's in the process of dying. Not a pleasure, but will be getting a new cpu asap. Can I just say oy vey! And now I know I'm a stress eater..not really news, but noteworthy.



Gallinule







I do see them sometimes.
These planes take off at the base.





God's Rays


Shelty..waiting for a car to bark at.


Fluff bucket. And not particularly yappy! Yay!


Rain coming





We have so many talented gardeners over here..I see lots of orchids!
























I never did discover what plant this is.
The guy growing it didn't know either!



Crown of Thorns

Hibiscus












I thought I was going to bust something, with the bow!
They do it to keep the ears standing up.



NOT Hubbel! Moon and streetlight.




I could never discipline this lovely dog! Luckily, I don't need to.





This crazy pooch likes to hide under the car...not a great survival technique!

She does love to escape her crate in the morning.


One of the cactuses on my walk.


We were thinking wire haired German pointer...but maybe Griffon?


She watches as I walk away.






She is alert to looking for chickens or cats.



More cactus




Roses are not #1 here on Kauai, but surely are lovely.






This is the 5$ bill I found on the ground. I was reminded that as a child, I found a 1$ bill and left it there, thinking others might need it more.....didn't do that this time!




She folds one paw to lie down, so she can see the cats and chickens better.

She is not a big fan of cars blocking her view!

dog yoga





I am happy to share a bit of Kauai. Glad the photos were still there on my camera, once we were able to download. I hope to have a new computer soon. God willing!
