Path of the Full Moon

 Last night was a beautiful clear full moon, so we ambled out the front door, down the steps and headed to the back of the property where we have our 10,000 gallon water tank and our little orchard.

However, on the way, Phil caught his toe on a piece of lava and nearly lost his balance and fell.  This is one of the day-to-day hazards we face here.  It is really easy to trip -- and you do NOT want to fall on lava.

So today, while Phil worked on filling holes in the wood trim in the ohana, Lunel's worked on digging out treacherous chunks of lava - and filling those holes with  red cinder so we would have a better path to not only observe the night sky in the dark, but to get to our back yard.

Farther back you can almost make out a sand chair, a couple of citrus trees and one of the banana trees.  The big tall trees are ohia, and they border our property on all four sides.

We have just finished using all of the enormous load of red cinder that was delivered to us at the beginning of the year, and this week we are taking delivery of another full truck load so we can continue with our projects -- including clearing a space for a greenhouse. (more about that later -- with pictures of course.)
