1258 Back Yard

I took this pic of our back yard at 1258 Ulupalakua Street in Kailua in 1964. On the right, you can see one of the numerous plumeria trees, which seems to be going dormant. This leads me to believe this pic was taken during the Hawaiian "winter" between December and March. In the background is our lemon tree. That lawn is Zoysia grass, the real spongy stuff.

Sad to say, over the following years, subsequent owners of 1258 expanded the house to cover almost the entire lot-no back yard no more. When I drove by the place 5 years ago, even the carport had been turned into living space.

At least the current owner is a guy named Craig! (Anderson). He paid $450,000 for the place in 2003.
