September saw Leslie touch the mainland to visit friends & family.... and her sister Pat came to visit again at the end of the month.
The front half of the ranch finally looks like we've hit the tipping point from clearing/ building to maintaining.... that means Mike's hard work is shifting further back on our acreage.
Leslie got to see her fiends & family on the mainland for almost two weeks.... so Mike had to go to 5-H camp with 142 critters.... that put a dent in the Big Island's beer supply!!!
Les's sister Pat came to visit again & had to see the black bamboo tree they bought last year... it was a 5 foot starter when they got it... we think the latest shoot is 18 or 19 feet tall with more shoots growing 2-3 inches a day!!!
Our fruit trees are growing & some even flowering... starting to think the low number of bees in our area hurt pollination.... so yup, just put together several hives & plan to bring in a bee colony soon.... stay tuned!!!
