Dusk

I love when the sky turns pink and orange.

For the Birds!

I found this guy unable to fly in our backyard the other day. He was flapping frantically but couldn't get off the ground. I picked him up and saw that he had a large gash under his breast and between his legs. A local vet clinic directed me to the Wild Bird Rehab Haven - a group of volunteers that care for Hawaii's birds for re-release or permanent housing. I met up with Leslie, a fellow Mililani resident, who is currently caring for 38 birds; it looks like this one has a good chance - yay! A big MAHALO to the Wild Bird Rehab Haven for the work that they do!

We came to the conclusion that a cat must have had at it. I don't have cats but a neighbor has feral cats that wander around the neighborhood and in our yard - so annoying! I can't wait to get some dogs.

A Very Merry Un-Birthday

I just received a birthday card from my parents - 4 months after my birthday. So I thought this would be a nice opportunity to share a couple of pix turning 31-derful: pizza and a red velvet cupcake - yum!

J.J. Dolan's is THE closest thing to NY Pizza I will ever get in Hawaii. An Irish-style pub in Chinatown, made by a Jersey boy, baked in a pizza oven, served on aluminum pans, accompanied by Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper, with a crispy thin crust dough-y enough to bend, and just enough oil to leave translucent prints on my paper plate. Now if we could just work on the garlic knots and the Italian Ices, I'd be set. I love their window!

As the March Hare and Mad Hatter sing,
A Very, Merry Un-Birthday
To me?
To YOU!
