Aloha on the tail end of my first weekend back on Maui. Went to the farm bureau Christmas party Sat nite. My wife Irene was the hostess in charge of the food and overall setup. It was enjoyable evening, with farm families gathering for a chance to socialize with other farmers after some losing alot of their crops with the past damaging storm Maui encountered.















We then went on to Kanaio around the south side of Mt. Haleakala (for all of you mainland readers) to her families land and spent the nite in a family cabin, no electricity,or running water yet the spiritual energetics of the area runs strong. Was windy when we got there and it calmed down to a deafening silence throughout the evening making for a wonderful nite of rest and rejuvenation.

I hiked to the site that I planted the sweet potato before going to the mainland and found it just jumped out of the ground.(picture on the left is just planted and one on the right is from today which is twenty two days after planting.)
With spears of growth up to two ft long. I then took some of the surrounding topsoil and built it up around the the greens. Down below where I planted the greens I came across a bee hive attached here is the link to the video in U tube, check it out!!!


On or way back home we passed this mass of bikers lining both sides of the road by Grandmas coffee house up past Keokea park in Kula,part of the ride associated with the toys for tots Christmas tour that happens every year, delivering toys for children in need.
