A detail of the support that the Japanese give to long branches on trees. A long wooden pole, tied in place by rope. This photo was taken in the Gyoen National Garden in Kyoto.

Day 26: Instrument, suggested by @UnfocusedWanderlust
A display of Ukuleles in the store front of Porto Guitarra in Porto, Portugal.
I always thought that the Ukulele was a Hawaiian instrument but Wikipedia says that it is of Portuguese origin.
On not making the bed
I usually can’t start my day unless my bed is made. It is 7:45am on Sunday morning and the bed is made for today. I can now get on with my day. But yesterday was different…
I didn’t make my bed. No one reason - I felt unwell and so got up later, and went back to bed mid-afternoon - but I was also up and about doing things through out the day. In the evening I went out to see friends for dinner.
So last night I climbed into an unmade bed…and you know what? It felt kind of good.
…but I still plan on starting each day making my bed.

Day 25: Spice, suggested by @cygnoir
The spice draw in our kitchen.
🤕 Nurturing a headache and sniffles this morning. I could do with a a quiet Saturday, but there are things to do. I hope that this cold leaves soon.
My not so good or clear attempt at catching Venus above a sliver of a new moon, last night.

Day 24: Court, suggested by @rom
I want to say that I didn’t get to the court today because I was sick. However, while the latter is true, I actually never get to the court. 😔
🤧 I don’t know where this big has come from, but I am definitely running on a half tank at the moment.
🌩️ We are being treated to the a light show on the horizon, as lightning flashes continuously. There must be quite the storm out over the Pacific Ocean.

Day 23: Chance, suggested by @V_
You take a chance walking under a Kiawe tree that’s growing on a beach in Maui. A Kiawe’s branches have nasty thorns on them. Those branches can break off and lie buried in the sand, waiting for unsuspecting bare feet.
I appreciate all the spammers writing to me concerned if I am having difficulty pooping 💩🙄
Who does a HomePod play for when no one is listening?
Unknown to us, we left our HomePod playing in our Barn last night, no one in there. I walked in this morning and wondered what the noise was, the music was on low. I had to stop and listen, and followed that with a “Hey Siri, stop.”

The only houseplant currently in our house are these dried seed heads.

Day 17: Early, suggested by @krisfredrick
Early this morning.
It’s a shame that there isn’t a March 2023 Photoblogging Challenge prompt along the lines of hanging around, or feet first.
I have a photo for them.

Day 16: Road, suggested by @dejus
The remote road on Haleakala’s south flanks, looking towards Kaupō.
🤔 I’m really scratching my head with a DIY project at home. I think that I am nearing a solution, but it has taken its time.

Day 15: Patience, suggested by @amit
On the reception desk at a hotel in Siena, Italy.
😴 Well the visit to Lowes and HomeDepot were unproductive, but the nap in the car afterwards was welcome.
