Anekona

Posted on 12.06.16 under Anekona, haiku

Anekona, looking makai — where organically grown ag takes place.

Made a labor-for-huli trade with Jonah and his mom. I worked for half a day at their farm in Haiku and got about 50 huli in return. I planted these the next day at Anekona and should be getting taro in a year.

Kalaupapa was the leper colony on Molokai established in the 1870s. The Kalaupapa Post Office had this shirt a couple of years ago. Cathy, Jonah’s mom, wears this one. She is a tireless farmer!

Planted out most of the lower and upper mala with taro.

America Artistinal Fruit each get their own trophy and life history written in a little storybook. And this Wireless Pineapple comes with bluetooth so you can listen to music, blog, post to Instagram, twitter, and FB. Voice recognition make a keyboard obsolete. But wait there’s more! A 4K video camera that takes 24 mb stills as you film makes this the perfect vacation accessory. Until the fruit is eaten or rots, of course.

The Anekona Kale is more tender than any other kale you have eaten. Usually kale requires some bruising or massaging to break it down.

Picked and dried a gallon-sized ziplock bag of coffee. It’s surprising how different it is than “store-bought.”

This is the lower mala at Anekona before it got cleaned up.

This is Brandy’s place. Bobby Pahia “leases” it and is contemplating planting an organic ground cover. He has been a traditional farmer using fertilizers and herbicides. His kalo is huge…

martha’s vineyard in the offseason

The island where presidents come to r-e-l-a-x — at least the ones that want to emulate John F. Kennedy. His widow, Jacky Bouvier Kennedy Onassis lived in Chilmark. John Jr. died in a plane crash on his way to Martha’s Vineyard with his wife Carolyn Bessette and her sister Lauren in 1999.

It’s a lovely place but I don’t think that Trump will vacation there. Massachusetts is a blue state and MV is even bluer.

Route 24 to 25 heading to Woods Hole.

View from the ferry leaving Woods Hole.

Entering Vineyard Haven harbor. It’s a working shipyard.

Grace Church, Vineyard Haven where my father’s ashes were re-interred.

After a long discussion with our old best friend, Barry, we were assured that everything would be just fine! Don’t worry!

Our original cottage that was burned down in 1973. This became the back as it was actually two houses connected with a door on the 2nd floor. Arson was the cause and it was alleged that the perpetrator was a close relative of the fire chief. Scuttlebutt was he was banished from the island, but who knows?

Most photographed cottage in the Campground.

Everyone needs attention so there are more than one pink house, now.

Menemsha, a working fishing harbor. Also a Coast Guard base and the staging place for the rescue attempt after John Jr. crashed his plane.

Since it will be Thanksgiving — another ambivalent, imperialist holiday — this week, the sight of these feral turkeys quickened this feral bird hunter’s pulse.
