We are connected!!

I have so much catching up to do here on our blog. I may wait until this weekend to do it when Mark is gone.

So until then I will share some fun stuff. Last week while wandering around our property I noticed a tree that looked like it had been planted and wasn't a native tree or weed. After much exploring and clearing and chopping I have found 57!!! different fruit and nut trees on our land. I have identified some of them, including macadamia nut, tangerine, valencia orange, grapefruit, lime, lemon, mango, and avocado. There are still some that we haven't identified but hope to with some more research.

And finally a picture!
Here is a pic of the kids eating malasadas in our front yard with the pups hoping to catch a crumb.
Malasadas are Hawaii's version of the doughnut without the hole in the middle and instead of icing they are tossed in sugar and cinnamon. Mark and the kids LOVE them!!
