* kona brewing wailua wheat… wheat beer with passion fruit! tasty tasty
* chocolate & macadamia nut kona coffee with brown sugar
* katuk–grows all over the property and the leaves are nutty and delicious
* the LIGHT here in the mornings! indescribable and changeable and amazing…
* waking up early in the morning with no effort at all to eat my breakfast, sip my coffee, enjoy the light and the warm breeze or the rain…

i hope you all had a great halloween. we ended up having a sorta party here at hedonisia last night, mostly by accident. some of us were in costume but no one really felt like going anywhere, and even those with vague plans lingered and lingered longer and never left, and we drank beer and red wine and sangria and ate candy and listened to music and danced to “thriller” and “the time warp.” i’m living out of a suitcase and have nothing particularly costume-y with me here, but that’s what borrowed eyeliner is for of course:

i am salvador dali! sorta.
anyway, thought i’d share my painting projects! here’s the recycling signs that started it all!–

i mounted them to the various recycling crates as well, making me apparently the first female hedo volunteer to attempt carpentry (hah!). this is the first one i did and you can tell some trial-and-error was involved:

so, our floor! here’s what it looked like at the end of the day yesterday:

i painted the banana tree. can you see the embracing figures in the leaves?
and today:

i added more anthurium flowers on the right. close up (not sure they’re done yet):

i am pretty pleased… and having a lot of fun.
