Happy Heavenly Birthday to my smiley Tyler!
Cody was unique, too, with very many special traits and quirks - among which understanding everything I said, and wanting to have the last word.
Oh, but Tyler…. he was one of a kind! My happy, smiley, hilarious puppy-forever, smarty-pants, glued-to-me-always Tyler.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss my Boys.
🐶🐶

It’s that time of the month! Here is the new calendar wallpaper for August.
I photographed this lush young maple in the garden one day and, in the summer heat, green feels soothing and cooling to me. I hope it will do the same for you.
As always, it is available for laptop/desktop, iPad/tablet and iPhone/smartphone and you can download it at the link in profile. Or you can comment WALLPAPER and I am happy to send you the link directly.
Wishing you an August filled with all things lovely and just the way you like them. Or even better than that!
xoxo

Oops, I just realized that yesterday was World Chocolate Day! 🤎
How did I miss that?! 😄
Do you know that Hawai’i is (possibly) the only place in the world where cacao can both be grown and turned into chocolate?
I have a photo rich post on the blog where this story follows the chocolate making process from bean to bar starting in a cacao plantation on the North Shore of O’ahu.
You can find it among my links in my profile, or if you prefer, you can comment CHOCOLATE here and I am happy to send you the link directly.
Happy rest of this Tuesday (for some reason it felt like Sunday this morning), and happy rest of the week!
xoxo

🍓 PASSION FRUIT TARTLETS WITH SUMMER BERRIES 🫐
as July’s new Calendar Wallpaper!
Happy July everyone!!
I had made these Lilikoi (Passion Fruit) Tartlets with Summer Berries for a 4th of July potluck party with my neighbors in Honolulu.
The brightness and summery colors of the images called to me, so I decided to feature them in the July Calendar Wallpaper. Of course the recipe is also available on the blog. I hope you will enjoy both wallpaper and recipe!
Download the wallpapers at the link in profile, or if you prefer, you can comment TARTLETS and I will be happy to message you the link directly.
May your July exceed your best expectations, and I wish a fantastic 4th of July weekend to all who celebrate!
xoxo

Happy 30th Birthday to my nephew Massimo, aka Max!!
Sorry I am not there to celebrate on the day, but such a big birthday wants more celebrations so we can do it again when I get there.
Also, as I prepared these images to be shared, I realized that: not only is it time for new photos, but that it is loooong time for new photos of his sister, my niece Greta.
So be ready, both of you, as I am putting this in my schedule for when I return.
🩵🥳🎂
