No sign of Felicia, yet.



So far, so good. This is the 4th level (part of this property) behind the cottage. These trees are HUGE and we have some concerns about them standing if we get a lot of wind. If any of them were to fall, it would smash this cottage, which is right to the left of where this picture begins. Two dead trees were blown over last week (on a lower level), roots and all. I hope the operative word there is DEAD; they were dead trees and these pictured are alive. It has rained every day since we've been here (not a continuous rain, but none the less, rain), so we know the ground is wet. It's not soppy, but the winds concern us. However, today was beautiful. The news tells us that the storm is going north of the Big Island, so we really only expect some rain or wind and we get a lot of that, anyway. We'll see what happens. By the way, that big brown house in the picture belongs to the lady who came to visit last week. She is a breast cancer survivor and they have a cat, so we could talk! She said they might call us to house sit sometime; thankfully, that house is actually two condo units. They own the whole thing and rent out one of the units, so we'd only have half of it to keep. The cat is their biggest concern. We would love such an opportunity and it would be fun to be here when Karen is here.

Today we took it easy around here, thinking that any moment a storm might hit. It happens really quick like that in Oklahoma, so we didn't dare to leave. We didn't have anywhere to go, anyway, so we just enjoyed being in Hawaii. I took pictures around the place since our time here is getting short and Don did some yard work. My back was happy to have another day of rest! I thank God that we were able to bring my Jiggler; I had a session with it this morning. This place is small and I don't have a great place for using it, so I don't use it every day, but it's great to have it to use from time to time.
