Ah, the button top-right says Create a new Blog, which actually means to me I can create (add, post)a new post on my existing blog !  OK.  Got it !

This is really so funny---I am meandering around, similar to what I did when I first joined WA.  First thing is, I wanted to figure out when OEP got started.  Most entries seem to lack a date.  But I finally got it----sometime around now, April 2012.  Hooray !

So, I'll catch my friends up on Big Island life  now  It is nesting season for birds just about everywhere in the northern hemisphere, I guess.  Here, too.

Ready to put this into action?

I spend most of the day on my lanai (Hawaiian word for porch), which for me is a really large outdoor room with areas for cooking, dining with friends, reading/computer/talkstory/sitting area, sleeping,.  

There's lots of places around the lanai for birds to nest.  One annual favorite is less than two feet over my head from where I sit now at my computer. Several days ago it started. A sweet pair of little finches grabbed the spot, and in two or three days the nest was fully built.  They are fast ! 

Then they were not sure about me.  Was I a threat sitting here??? They stared.  Stared some more.  And some more. And then decided (do birds decide?) I am ok, because they now fly in and out of the new nest all day long.  I love the sound of whirring wings right over my head.  And when the two of them fly together, it's double-whirrrrrr.   

We're getting along fine, the birds and I.  Just waiting for that egg . I'll keep you posted.

And gosh, it is sure good to be back !  WA. OEP, whatever.  Love it !
