Aloha,
We had another busy weekend. Work is progressing slowly on the new hoshidana due to the rain.
We are now on twitter! https://twitter.com/HeavenlyCoffee
We are going to be picking coffee this week. It looks like another wonderful crop is coming along. The trees are very full of ripe cherry and it's only June!
Have you been sharing your Heavenly Hawaiian coffee with your family and friends? Make sure to order from our website at www.heavenlyhawaiian.com We would love to hear your comments on our blog also.

Friday
This week sure flew by quickly. Miguel checked the trees and we will start picking on Monday. What an early start to the season!
The trees look awesome. We are also planting a small vegetable garden. We have to be careful what we plant as some plants (like tomatoes) attract nematodes. We plan mostly on herbs and other relatively carefree plants.
Trudy has been busy filling up the planters with flowers and other greenery. The farm is looking great.
Have a great weekend!

Gathering of Eagles
One of the greatest things we love to see: the brave men and women who serve our country enjoying our coffee. These are soldiers stationed in Iraq.Friday, June 19, 2009
Aloha Friday
Its Aloha Friday. We had a very hectic week. The rain didn't stay away long, so we still have lots of painting to do.
Today, we are hosting a luncheon which should be fun. We coffee people are a lively bunch. As with all farmers, the topic will be the weather and the upcoming harvest season.
Sparkle and Ewok will enjoy the extra attention. They are so spoiled. Sparkle has not been a good girl about her diet! We just don't know how to keep her away from the avocadoes. She also gets treats from the workers which doesn't help her.
Well, I need to get the food ready or we won't have much of a luncheon. Have a great weekend everyone!

Building
Work has begun this week on our hoshidana (drying shed) this week. The boys are prepping the wood with primer and Miguel is starting the framework. Things were going great until the rain came in.
We expect to be picking the next three weeks. The TOF (The Other Farm) trees look great and will be ready first. The HH trees will be ready a little bit later. Its great to see the trees loaded with cherry.
Sparkle and Ewok keep getting to the avocadoes that fall to the ground before we can get them. Those two dogs just keep getting fatter and fatter. Mary's pet pig Zippy gets the half eaten avocadoes. He is one spoiled piggy!
Time to go help Miguel with the framing. Its a beautiful day to be working outside!

Painting and More
Hello!
Saturday was spent painting. One area was so cramped, Dave wound up with red paint in his hair. That sure was hard to get out.
Sunday we were all set to paint, when we realized we had agreed to host a birthday party for some friends. Over 50 people showed up. We didn't have to do much work for it which was nice. Our friends brought everything and did all the work. The pool got a good workout!
Hopefully, today we will be able to get some more painting done.

Building time
The materials arrived today for the new hoshidana (drying floor). We will be busy priming the wood and getting everything ready for construction. Hopefully the rain will hold off for a few days so we can get all the painting done.
Miguel and Lupe's (the outside farm managers) kids are both helping out here and enjoying the pool. At least someone gets to swim! Mary's girls will be back next week and also having fun in the pool.
Well, we had better get back to work!

A New Week
Aloha All,
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We had some rain but not much.
We spent Sunday afternoon sanding the drying decks. It was a lot of work but we need to get the decks repainted before the harvest season begins. We also are getting work on adding a third drying deck. Last season we had a hard time and kept running out of floor space. This harvest looks to be even bigger so we are making sure to be prepared.
Saturday June 20 is the Farmfest and Ukulele Jam in Holualoa. This looks to be a fun event to participate in. We are hoping to have a good location for our booth.
Our houseguest Marge leaves tomorrow. She has been wonderful. We will miss her and of course her wonderful cooking. We sure got spoiled.
Have a great day!

Been Hectic
Aloha,
Time is flying by. Harvest season is just around the corner. We are still short on rain but we did have a nice shower last night.
We have a wonderful house guest this week. Marge is an incredible cook and has been spoiling us everyday. Today we got to enjoy homemade biscotti with our coffee. Life cannot get much better.
Sparkle and Ewok have been indulging on too many avocadoes . Its hard to make them stick to a diet with so much temptation around. We have been walking the farm daily and they waddle along with us. We have spotted two kittens in the lower coffee field. Hopefully they will stay and keep some of the pests away.
We finally got the demucilager fixed just in time for the season. In just a few weeks we will find out how good of a job we did on the repairs.
Have a wonderful weekend!
