Enjoying the summer from indoors...

We haven't had much of a chance to get out and take pics of the island this summer...I believe June was our last outing to the hotel. Cameron and I take 3 walks a day though..short ones because he doesn't have much energy to expend and definitely does not need to work off any calories. But we do love the fresh air and the chance to talk. I find he opens up more on our walks and it's been really a nice chance for just he and I to have that special time and for him to tell me how he's doing and what he's working on while he keeps himself busy each day trying to deal with his illness.

The weather was awesome on this mornings walk...slightly cold breeze and sprinkles of raindrops..with very warm sun shining through. It felt great. Last night when my husband took a walk with us after dinner..the clouds came after a very hot day. The sky was dark..yet pink. It was very interesting. We got sprinkled on during our walk..but it still felt great.

Here are a couple of shots I can share...this first one was taken in August..it's the view out of my beading room window...



And this second one is of the bananas that grew through our fence from the neighbor. They finally were ready to cut down and are in the garage hanging upside down waiting to ripen. I'm hoping they are apple bananas..they look small enough to be.

Finally we are gonna have some bananas!

Our neighbors banana trees sent a little keiki (child) plant through the fence and it's been there for years...we never seem to get bananas..but just the other day I noticed a huge banana flower..they are so cool. I hear you can boil them and make a purple dye out of it. I will have to try it...need to figure out what I want to dye though...lol
