| The first rain for many weeks. Cedar's lacy fingers dripped. |
 |
| Rain drops dangled from branches of tiny Gravenstein apples |
 |
| Queen Anne cherries coming ripe. Robins already hungry for them. |
 |
| Laukahi (the male plants) are thick and tall this year. Enjoying the rich soil from my former garden. |
 |
| The whole orchard floor is laukahi (plantain) The broad leaves of the wahine (female) plants grow along side the English daisies. I harvested lau'lapa'au (healing herbs) of laukahi during the Hoku and Mahealani phases to make a poultice for a wrist sprain. Good timing. I am mending well. |
