Harvesting Fruit

Our green figs are in season!  Like just about everyone here in South Kona, we grow food on our property.  This is a farming area and our neighbors are growing orchids, plumeria, queen bees, coffee, and all kinds of fruit.  On our property we grow papaya, green figs, starfruit, tangerines, two kinds of mango, and lots of white pineapple.  We planted a Tahitian lime and a Meyer lemon last year, and have continued adding various vegetables around the property, including kale, sweet potatoes, and chard.  One of the best things about living here is the ability to grow such a wealth of beautiful and tasty things!

Spa Room

The Spa Room is just about finished and will be fantastic!  My mother and I had facials with Judy in it to test it out and they were great.  The room is bright and airy (it is basically open-air) and right above our koi pond.  The sound of the waterfall and the feel of the wind breezing through is incredibly relaxing.  I've had a lot of spa treatments and I really like the feel of this room; you can feel the wind and the air so its like you're outside and yet it's completely private.
