 SET THE MOOD  
   WITH A LITTLE COLOR 
 A woodworker, painter and musician, John  
 recently completed a 13 1/2 –foot-long  
 mango table built to the height of the lanai  
 rail. The eight-foot-wide lanai wraps around  
 the entirety of the home. He singlehandedly  
 constructed the impressive lava-rock walls  
 that surround the five-acre property—a  
 herculean feat considering that John is  
 in his 70s. To disguise the concrete, he  
 applied Lithochrome stain to the mortar and  
 transformed it into the color of rock. 
 Margaret grew up in Yosemite National Park  
 and learned from her grandmother and  
 mother how to live off the land and harvest  
 food. She is always concocting foods and  
 staple items made from plants that thrive on  
 the farm—everything from ulu flour, coconut  
 flour, vinegar, and sugar cane syrup to jams,  
 preserves, sauerkraut, hot sauce, pickled  
 lemons, and Kaffir lime & lavender soda. She  
 even makes her own cheese. 
 “I am grateful for all the gifts that we have from  
 nature; the gifts of sustenance,” said Margaret.
