Ma'uka and Tutu Cedar

Hello Little Frog,

The Seasons are changing. Seasons is a very fun word to get to know. Over here, where your Two Tutus are living, Seasons mean the plants, the wind, the rain, the temperature (the air around you) changes a lot. Over there, where your Mom and Dad and you live, the changes are different in the way they change. You'll get to know them. You will kilo (notice, and pay attention).

Your Two Tutus live at Camp Bamboo, ma'uka upland. The Tall Trees grow all around us. Here are some little videos of one of my favorite trails, and favorite trees. The trees are called Cedar, and they have a very sparkly smell. The skin of the Cedar is what makes them smell so sparkly.

The kama'aina, the long-time human people of this place, the Coast Salish People, love Cedar very very much. They call her Tutu. Tutu = Grandmother because Cedar gives them so many many things they need to have a good life.

It's fun to share Tutu Cedar with you and your Mom and Dad. Cedar shares so many good things with me, and I always try to remember to say Thank you.

Sending Tutu love from Cedar and your Two Tutus. Sharing good things to make a good life. 😘😘😘

💚💙💜

Seeing one thing, and remembering another

Hello Little Frog, This is a video that made me smile from the first moment I heard the music and saw the puppet and his puppeteer. Your Dad plays the guitar, and your Mom plays the ipu and maybe other instruments, too. I don't really know, but you'll find out. This video reminds me so much of a friend your Dad and your Tutu Lady knew a long time ago, when your Dad was a boy. His name was Raymond North. Maybe sometime your Dad will have a story to share about Raymond North who had a gravelly voice like the man playing the guitar in this video. Raymond North was a Welshman, these men are Irishmen. Wales is near Ireland. Listen closely to the song at the end of the video. It's Irish. Your Tutu Pete is an Irishman. It's fun to see how one thing you see can make you think of another thing, or another person. Life is magic that way, if you look for it or listen just so. 💙💚💚

Setting up camp

Hello Little Frog! Your Two Tutus have a new camp, and a new home. We left the bunnies, rabbits and hares to be with new friends. The new friends are three human people, making five people included us, four goats, two black hens, one cat, and a dog. This story is about all of us, and the place at the top of long steep road. We call our new place Camp Bamboo.

Five People, Four Goats, Three Hens, One Cat and a Dog
