Aloha Hoyte and Joyce! Here is a Plumeria for you...

Early the other morning as I was getting ready for work we had a bit of a cloud burst so I waited to leave until it was over...as I was dashing to the car I saw that my Plumeria had bloomed and was sparkling in the dawn sunlight with the rain beaded up on it so prettily... so I just had to get a photo. I wish I could share how lovely it smelled, sweet, fresh and fragrant.

Aloha Hoyte and Joyce...hope you enjoy the plumeria, if you scroll through the photos there are some shots of the kids as well... All my love, Trevella

Roof Top Bougainvilleas In The Flossie Rain...

This is a quick glimpse of the roof top outside my office, Scott put these gorgeous Bougainvilleas in pretty pots on the roof top when we moved in a few months ago and we all sat back and waited for them to die... Turns out, they LOVE it! The Hotter the better! Look at them blooming and they are growing like mad as well, you can now easily see them from the street, where as when they were planted you couldn't hardly see them at all.

Hurricane Flossie is giving us plenty of rain and a little wind but that's pretty much it, the weather right now is definitely no worse than some we get during the rainy season, so it is looking like the Big Island is going to miss the Big Hit once again...Thank Goodness!

You may have heard about the 5.4 earthquake we got Monday night? That was just Pele rumbling and stretching a bit, the quake occurred near the Pu'u O'o vent of Kilauea volcano, it is still active and providing us with more land each day, thanks Madam Pele! Over all we had a few crooked pictures and some cracked drywall...not to bad. I would rather the "sleeping giant" lets off steam this way then swelling and swelling to someday go pyroclastic on us! Really, its all good...some cigarettes & rum and everyone is happy! (for the volcano goddess silly! But I'll take any extra rum...)
