Waimea in July

When John and I went to Maui in mid-July, he took a few pix. For those of you who haven't been here for a while, this is Waimea. (Forgive the brown in the foreground -- it has been a little dry.) Buster Brown and the Kohala Mountains
July was a hard month. Generally sunny, with highs in the mid- to high-70s, lows around 60 at night. We're hoping August will be as tough to take!

Have you seen this guy? Pretty amazing -- both talent and determination.

PBJ, No! But PB&H, Yes!

Court's recent post prompted me to share today's lunch. If you look closely, you will note the All Natural peanut butter. (I know it looks a bit like something out of Clara's diaper, but it tastes even better than my usual Jiffy Extra Chunky, I think, and I'm sure it's better for me.) Also, note the honey from our 5-gallon food storage container: it has sugared, allowing for a thicker, more generous portion to be applied to the bread without its running down my hand while I eat it. (I always thought the primary reason for the peanut butter was to make one feel better about eating the honey, anyway.) I added the cottage cheese to provide an additional food group and a more balanced meal. Also, a glass of milk to help cut the heavy dose of honey and a couple of chocolate chocolate chip cookies to finish off the meal. Perfect!
