Have you met my friend Christine?

World? Meet Christine.

She. is. awesome. She's the kind of person you could spend the duration of one desert lightning storm with, talking about books and your past, and she'd make you feel like you'd known her forever. (Trust me on this one.)

She's the kind of person you can talk to late at night, when no one else is awake, but you really need to talk to someone. She's the lady that will ask you the right questions. She's the friend you wish you were most like. She's a yoga queen, and has the voice of an angel.

Today is her birthday.

Let there be cake! And guitar strings. And saltines.

Someday, when you pick up that award winning, New York Times bestseller, "Saltines: A history." you'll be able to say, "Hey! I know her. I totally met her."

I went for a walk this morning...

 {All was color, and texture in the jungle. I kept waiting for a brontosaurus to lumber into view.} 

{I should walk, every morning, but sometimes the morning rain makes me sleepy lazy.}

Nature Boy

Fruit & Nuts

 {I forget what this is called, but I love to eat it's tart lovely berries...}

{Kukui tree }

 {This is Noni Fruit, which smells, really really bad.}

 {Mmm! Tasty star fruit! A whole tree just for us!}

{I like this picture because it looks like it's turning from black&white to color...but it's just nature.}

 {This is Guava...}

{Which has the tastiest smelling fruit of all time...I would eat that off the ground but the chickens beat me to it.}

A tasty treat
