The Christmas season in Hawaii is not the mainland. We are dreaming of a wet Christmas and had six inches of rain the past ten days. We have green, green, green and red mud. Surprisingly, the weather cools off in Haiku where we live. With 100% humidity and 58 degree temperatures in the early am, we are closing windows, throwing on long sleeved shirts, socks and flannel jackets. We hope for a break in the rain during the day to get some "farming" done. One day we just went out and worked in the rain; it was muddy; yet fun. Every day is full of rainbows and our homestead seems to sit directly under a rainbow most days. We went to the Grand Wailea for Christmas lunch and we mingled amongst the rich and famous for an almost affordable lunch, $25.00 valet parking and a very nice beach. The landscaping was fabulous - inspiring Linda to get the red ginger planted and work on creating our jungle paradise. Christmas Eve day we volunteered at the free dinner at Baldwin Beach. Lots of aloha and generosity for all. The story is that locals, haoles and homeless people all come together in the spirit of Christmas. We like that. The food was ONO - the best. 72 turkeys were cooked in an imu local style and it was to die for. Baldwin beach is just fabulous and we felt blessed to be a part of the Maui ohana. Christmas evening dinner was getting together with new friends for prime rib dinner and fresh salad 100% from the garden, including organic avocado dressing. Linda created a Christmas centerpiece with flowers from the yard - so much fun!
