Water from coconut from yard About 1/2 a pear offered to me when out in the field at the refuge with the biologist A couple of figs from yard eaten at the tree :) Lots of mountain apples harvested fresh from yard Fresh squeezed orange juice Mix of zuke, cuke, multicolor carrot noodles with sauce of some of the OJ blended with celery, zucchini, and a touch of tahini, sprinkled with minced fresh chives Photos to be posted later Today was a big birding day for me: spent morning on state-wide nene survey, then the rest of the day doing photo review and writing up observations of a moorhen nest from the motion detection camera's SD card I got from an intern. So interesting! Love all of it! :) Darrel went to farm today to see if there was anything new to harvest, and discovered more theft and vandalism. :( They cut our starfruit tree so severely that it might not survive. 😓 It had the best starfruit I have ever tasted... was planted from a tree that had the best starf...

Food: Fresh squeezed orange juice Longan Banana Coconut water Papaya Mountain apples Half of a large pineapple Some of my apple, date, celery dish from a few days ago A little broccoli and cauliflower ** Exercise: Darrel and I went to the Mayor-A-Thon today. It was fun! :) It's a community events put on by the county, and heavily sponsored by Kaiser Permanente, Gieko, and local businesses. It's not a race, more like a fitness and social family event. You pick the length you go: anywhere up to 8 miles. They have turn around points marked for various lengths.  You can run, walk, bike, roller blade on the cement path that goes along the shoreline. We walked and ran this time...I think it was 4-7 miles, not sure...didn't pay attention to length, was noting time to turn around in order to get back for prizes and zumba. We were out on the path for 2 hours. They have contests like hula hoop, cooperative group teams, etc for prizes...and drawings ...

Food: Opened 3 coconuts and shared some with Darrel: Here is what I drank of the water (with the flesh aside for later, that I didn't end up eating): This is the rest of the water from these coconuts which is what Darrel drank: So, my share was 1,482 grams of coconut water . Next I had 1,377 grams of papayas : And later I had 809 grams of saba bananas : And later I had juice from these 7 navel oranges , which turned out to be about 3.6 Cups and weighed 930 grams : I was going to have a romaine and katuk salad with a mango, tomato, celery, basil dressing, but was so full from the orange juice that I didn't end up eating before I went out for the night with Darrel. I would have LOVED that salad! Note to self: make the salad and take it with you anyway next time. There was a Art Walk in Kapaa, and we had a blast. We parked our electric car about a mile-ish down the road where we could charge it up and walked down to everything. When we got there I h...
