Color du Jour - RED!

Ever since we moved to Puna on the Big Island, I've wanted a pair a cute mud boots.  While I could have bought a pair of plain old black ones, I held out.  I wouldn't pay the price they wanted for a pair of the designer brands, but I found these --- taDAH!!! at a little thrift shop that carries off brands of merchandise!  Cute huh?!!


We harvested another small crop of tomatoes and bell peppers....with the admission that "small" is the optimum word, since none of these is over 3".  We are very proud of our PUNA non-GMO fruits and vegies that can sometimes be smaller and bit ugly.


Finally, LAVA REPORT:  Well there are confusing (but not conflicting) reports about the what the lava is "doing."  "Stalled at the front" is a common phrase...which means that 95% of it is not moving closer to Highway 130 (yet.)  However, it sounds like the same VOLUME of lava is still flowing from the source -- the Pu'u O'o vent off of Kilauea.  The lava IS still flowing down through the 9+ mile tube and is "inflating" the tube (light pink) which is getting higher.  Also, it is still "blooping out" (non-technical term) in a few northerly branches.  Just for Fun, WATCH the "Raviloi-heated lava HERE --  LINK TO Lava Heated Ravioli
