Back on the Farm

It has been a hectic few days as we flew to Kona from Honolulu, then camped one night at Spencer Beach (north of Kona). We decided we liked Isaac Hale Park in Puna more, so we drove to Hilo and camped two more nights, then picked up the van and drove to Ho'Oli to stay with our dear friend Manono.
The rain has been plentiful here, so the Kona side of Hawaii is much more lush than when we were first here!

View to our house from the driveway.

 Looking towards the outdoor kitchen and retreat.

 Labyrinth.

 Looking southeast. Kirsty is going to plant a vegetable garden where she cleared the ground.

 Looking north towards Manono's house.

 Looking northwest towards the ocean.

The fabulous outdoor shower!

 Trees full of avocados. These are about twice the size of Haas avos.

 Tally me banana!

 This guava is the size of a softball!

 Kukui nuts abound.

 Papayas and apple bananas make for a grand breakfast!

Tamarillos are an odd fruit. The taste is a cross between a tomato and something...just not sure what that something would be.

 12 chickens with eggs that taste superb. They roost in the coops at night to stay safe.

 Figs!! We are already salivating over the figs as they start to ripen.

 Fig orchard.

 Patrick mowing the yard!


 Hot tub!

 Prince Kila, the young pup.

The grand dame, Makana. She likes her shade.

More to follow my friends!

Peace
