After dinner our heroine put out all her fall decorations but neglected to take any photos.
On Friday when she got home from work there was a message on her machine from her neighbor Nan who invited our heroine for dinner. She accepted and had a great time. When she got home the full moon was just coming up thru the trees.
On Saturday our heroine and her neighbor Nan went for a short, 2-mile hike. There were numerous small waterfalls along the trail as it went thru the woods.
The heroine's best girl Liliuokalani was having a grand time racing up and down the trail and running through all the streams. She got very wet and loved to shake near her mom.
Nan and I stopped at a bench near one of he small waterfalls for a water break.
Our heroine wonders why she let anyone take her picture with her fanny pack turned the wrong way. While creating this blog entry our heroine also realized that the date on the camera is off.
After awhile the trail comes out into a pasture. At the top of the hill in the pasture our heroine found a trail marker and proclaimed "That way leads back to the car!" Again our heroine has her fanny pack turned the wrong way.
The trail went through the pasture and back into the woods. At a bench under a tree our heroine and Nan marveled at the size of this tree and how old it must be.
On Sunday, September 2nd, while our heroine was moving firewood Kelekona and Morgan engaged in a game of tag,,dog style. Kelekona runs around at a slower than normal speed and Morgan hurls his 25 pound body at her 57 pound body while they are both growling and barking. Then they take off in separate directions until they literally run into each other again.
After a few rounds of tag all three needed to catch their breath.
By Sunday afternoon there was no more firewood in the driveway near the garage doors.
There are now 1 1/2 new rows of wood behind the woodshed.
Since this wood will not be used until the winter of 2013-2014 our heroine covered it with a large tarp and weighted it down. Hopefully the pieces of wood on top will hold the tarp down during the 50-80 mph gusts of wind during winter storms.
Monday was a holiday. Our heroine went up to her sewing room to work on a project. A white and brown blur went past her window and then landed on the branch in center of this photo. It was a beautiful hawk. Our heroine raced down the 3 flights of stairs, got her camera and raced back up the three flights of stairs. As she was focusing on the hawk it took off. DAMN!
Later on Monday afternoon our heroine baked two loaves of Peanut Butter Streusel Topped Cream-Cheese Banana Nut Bread. One loaf is for her co-workers. The other will go to her favorite doctor next week. Our heroine had to remove a bottle of vodka from her freezer to make room for the doctor's loaf of bread. I hope they appreciate the sacrifice.
Our heroine's last project on Monday was to make some Haupia, also for her co-workers. Haupia is a coconut milke pudding from Hawaii.
