Not sure how many Icelandic Chickens enjoy banana plants, but mine sure do.

Pretty little pond. Perfect spot to cool off before the hike back up the mountain.

Beautiful place for a walk, along the northwest coast of Hawaii island. Maui is visible across the channel and its whale season We saw many.

This is Gaela (14) and Pippa (2) her granddaughter. Aren’t they adorable together.

Pretty happy with how these sourdough english muffins came out. Also still really enjoying the @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social little app. I used my cast iron skillet on the cooktop to make them.

Where oh where have my sheepies gone? Oh where oh where can they be?

#smallfarm #sheep #hawaii
Looking across the pasture. The fruit stand is visible by the road to the left. The sheep are by the compost pile, their favorite spot. Looking across the pasture.

My nearly blind and deaf 14 year old Gaela Girl spotted some goats!

#dogsofbluesky #dogsky #goats #morningwalk #hawaii
Gaela was lagging behind everyone because she is slowing down at 14. I turned back to see her pointed at a mama and baby goat. She has large cataracts so I think that was smell. A wild mama goat with a black and white spotted baby on the edge of the ditch in our pasture.

I love this shot of Pippa and Gaela, granddaughter and grandma. Pippa was trying to sneakily steal the ball but grandma’s not having it.

Pretty little rainbow out on the ocean.

The tail end of a rainbow under white clouds on the ocean visible from my yard. This is looking north from Hawaii Island. The next thing in that direction is Alaska.

I played around with cinnamon and lilikoi cream cheese in a pillowy soft sweet dough. These went to the post office, library and fire department in our tiny town.

A large danish on a sheet pan A danish so big I had to tape two bags together I rolled three strands of dough up with cinnamon filling inside then braided it and put a lilikoi cream cheese filling inside.

I am really enjoying @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social new app. I made sourdough hamburger buns in the special pan and they came out great! A bit large actually so next time I will probably freeze half the dough.

It’s a miracle! We worked the orchard and no one rolled in pig poop and I’m not covered in fire ant bites. Go team.

I love citrus season! These bright lemons and oranges remind me of holiday ornaments. Orn thought they were balls for fetching.

#dogsky #smallfarm #hawaii
60 pounds of oranges and lemons harvested with the help of four Icelandic Sheepdogs. You can see me i. purple surrounded by the dogs with lemon trees all around. A lemon tree covered with bright yellow fruit.

Foodie fun here today.

#foodie #pizza #breadsky
Pickled eggs. My girls are laying so well and tourism is so low that I’m not baking near as much for the fruit stand. Nice to have “too many” eggs. This quart jar is sitting in the window sill of my lanai. I tried the Semolina Sandwich bread recipe from the King Arthur Flour bag. It’s coated on all sides with sesame seeds. Haven’t cut it yet. Homemade pizza with alfredo sauce, sausage, shallots, peppers, mushrooms Tried out the pasta extruder on my Kitchen Aid and made basil rotini and homemade alfredo sauce.
