Looks like this vanilla vine might be flowering soon. This is exciting because it's almost in reach and I will try to hand pollinate. Every other time I've seen vanilla flower, the flowers have been 30 feet up in a tree 🤷

Time to watch some videos on hand pollinating vanilla.

A little slice of Mauna Kea visible in the distance during an afternoon walk yesterday near the shoreline. 🥰

The Mauna doesn't let you forget it's there! Every so often, you'll turn around and go "o! There's a lil piece of Mauna Kea visible!" And of course sometimes it's way more than just a slice!

It wasn't until I lived in the high desert in California for a little while that I first experienced living with a mountain. Seeing it every day, at all times of day, just being with it... It was cahuilla mountain (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahuil). But that's all a story for another day.

A view down a long, straight road with jungle on both sides. In the distance, Mauna Kea can be seen in the light of sunset.

Ahh, a nice pile of pre-mulch (category: pallet). This pile isn't the final pile. It's the holding pile. Next step is distributing the pieces based on where i'd like them to decompose.

Stuff like managed decomposition really makes me feel like I've got my arm up to the elbow in the circle of life, swishing things around and trying to make something happen lol.

And yes, all my most profound ecological insights come only when I'm *at least* elbow deep in the circle of life.

Which reminds me, I have some goat poop (from @saltphoenix 🥰) compost tea brewing in a bucket and I gotta stir it and distribute it. Swish swishing the circle of life quite literally, in this case 😸
