Another Rainy Day

When I woke up it looked like it would be a somewhat sunny day. But within a couple hours it started to rain. I had originally thought about going to the Waimea Heritage Cherry Blossom Festival today, but they get more rain than we do so decided against it.

Weather prospects around 7:30 am.

Turned in to rain by 9:30.

It stopped raining just before lunch & cleared a little. As I was in the office/study/library/studio measuring to see how the different pieces of furniture I had planned on moving in to it would fit, I saw an ʻIo flying over the neighbor's back yard. By the time I was able to get my phone out it was on the other side of the road, headed for Hāwī. I hope to have more experiences like this.

Here's what my new bedroom window looks like from the outside; they're the double windows on the right. The single window on the left is an old window.

Rain gutter ends here; its keeping people on the ramp from getting soaked.

Wayfair sent me an email. Apparently I bought the cat gate about this time 2 years ago so they want me to celebrate that anniversary by buying something else. I really do not understand that logic. I only bought it from them because they were the only 1 of 3 that would actually ship to Hawaiʻi, even though they did charge for it. But I really needed that cat gate so I paid the fee.

So far so good on the Immi front. I did not get any notice from Immi that a mistake was made & I need to pay an additional amount for shipping.

The eruption at Kīlauea is still paused. The scientists think it may erupt again sometime between the next 1 through 3 days. Sounds like I've heard that before.

Hauʻoli lā Hānau e Alison & Keala! Keala is 6 years old today. I got her from Sherry who fed the strays & ferals on Maunalani Circle. One of the cat-hating neighbors had threatened to kill Keala so I took her home. She changed the dynamics between Smoresie & Luna with her mellow personality so the Roommates asked if I would leave her in Honolulu when I moved to Hawaiʻi Island so I did.
