Just a little sugar for your day. 🤎🍬

Ruby and Frisky sharing one of those quiet moments that reminds us how gentle horses can be with the ones they trust. We never get tired of seeing these two together.

Mahalo for following along with life at ʻĀina Iki Ranch! 🤍

A couple of weeks ago Mr. Joshua and I had the pleasure of playing with the Puna Dirt Road Band at a small local market. During our set break I met Lee, and I instantly became obsessed with the beautiful walking sticks he makes.

On Monday I picked up this incredible goat-herding staff he handcrafted for me out of lychee wood—and I couldn’t love it more. It even has the perfect little chin-resting spot. 😊

Mahalo, Lee, for creating something so beautiful. I know this staff and I are going to have many adventures together.

🌿 Planting hope, one tree at a time.

Mr. Joshua handled the hard part (pickaxe vs. lava 😅), while Marla Keown got the honor of settling this young papaya into its new home with a little goatie gold and a ring of lava rocks.

We’re slowly building a protected food forest where plants can grow safely and our animals stay safe from species that aren’t meant for them. Some plants, like cacao, can be toxic to curious goats, so this fenced area lets us grow them without worry.

These papayas—both traditional and Thai varieties—will someday help feed us, our ducks, and our chickens. One tree down…many more to plant. 🌱

Little land. Big heart. One tree at a time. 💚

Hansel reminded us today that sometimes the sweetest rewards are just beyond our comfort zone.

Reach anyway. 🌿💚

Meet Miss Minnie… the little hen who thinks she’s one of our parrots. 🥹❤️ One eye is blind after a severe case of fowl pox as a chick, but you’d never know it watching her soak up cuddles every day.

Progress isn’t always dramatic.

Sometimes it looks like weeks of pulling w**ds.
Tightening old w**d mat.
Hauling lava rocks.
Clearing one fence post at a time.

Today, we finished the last section of our front pasture fence. ⚡🐐

Soon the electric fence will finally be live for the first time since we moved to ʻĀina Iki—making grazing safer for our Biggies and giving us a little more peace of mind. No more worrying about escape artists or unwanted visitors getting into the pasture.

Tiny steps. Big rewards. 🌿🤎
