Convoy is limited to local residents (and workers, of course), which means the highway beyond the end checkpoint is pretty sparsely driven. So we're just walking down to the end of the highway, on the highway, to get to the beach that we have all to ourselves. Perfect for a little frisbee throwing ...
On the convoy ...
Bullfrogs hide in our buffalo grass. Hopefully they're smart enough to move out of the way before the mowers or weedwhackers whack them. Because, it's not like we can see them if they're tucked in.
Cooling off after hot work in the sun ...
Errands day, rounded out with a trip to Kauai Coffee Plantation...
Another "out to town" day, with a side trip to beautiful Moloa'a Bay ...
Feeding bacon scraps to the local cats ...
Up on our road, washed down by the flood ... big BIG boulder.
Note: different headband, because I took Big Dude back to see the spectacle.

Thus ends our May Kauai adventures.

I have so enjoyed your photo essay on the hard work you have accomplished there in your lush green paradise!
The bridge work was so interesting...just wonder if the big beams on the bridge were pressure treated. Here in the pacific northwest in my younger days, I helped my husband put in fence poles that were pressure treated.
I have followed your blog for a long time and it just seems like the other day that "Big Dude" was heading off to college...congratulation BD.
Your boys have grown up before my very eyes!...
The photographs you take are so beautiful, and the prose with the pics is good also.
Thank you again for sharing this most work intensive but so beautiful essays.

Hi Mary -
Yes! The beams are pressure treated. We ordered them from Washington (state); it's the same kind of wood as used on beach boardwalks. Humidity and bugs are so bad here, that the wood Needs to be treated!!
Thank you for leaving such kind words :-).
Blessings, Susan
