Today........................

was, we believe, the coldest day we have seen since we moved here. We now sleep with a light blanket but with the windows open. This morning we closed them for awhile. I also decided to pass on water jogging. We are going to reflect on today when next summer comes as it was totally perfect. Soon it warmed up and we were off to town to shop for a few things. We stopped at Fujimama's for lunch and did a little town people watching. Town was busy today as a cruise ship was in and we decided we enjoy town even more now that we don't live there anymore. Have to recommend Fujimama's. The resturant is from Tokyo and they have opened a second one here in Kona. I had a green curry with MahiMahi and carmeled onions, shitake mushrooms and peppers. Whalla!! Should have tried the shushi but what can I say when Ron ordered a burger. (They do have one of the highly rated burgers in town, so there was reason to try it). We stopped by a fellow coffee farmers place on the way back for Ron to take a look at his operation. He does much more marketing than us and has much more equipment to do it with and he is always ready to help and add some advise. We get local honey from him and sometimes sell it at the market along with our coffee. Our coffee for this week got roasted today so when I came home I packaged up the beans. We haven't had any rain since Christmas Day so Ron decided to do some irrigation. (This is supposed to be the dry season anyway.)We are not sure when to irrigate as Ron claims, just like running the New York marathon, everyone has a plan on how to do it best. We feel like we are experimenting this year and hopefully find some of the better methods and employ them. Do those trees need moisture now or not?? We will see how much they need when we get that water bill....right?? I think I hear the dinner bell ringing! See ya another day....
