Sometimes it snows in April
My neighbors yard with the dusting of snow from last night. At least the sun is shinning today. ALong the edge of her yard she has tons of blackberries. The kids and I had a blast last year picking blackberries in her yard. We were going to make some jelly but the berries never made it home! SHe told me her mom used to pick them and sell them infront of their house.
That is one thing I miss about being in Kenya is the abundance of fruits. In our yard we had guavas, mangoes, mulberries, loquats, custard apples, and berries just to name a few. I miss all those tropical fruits! When we lived in Florida I saw some passion fruits in the store. I was so excited I picked them all. The cashier put them on her weighing machine and the price came up to $11.49 for 8 passion fruits! SHOCKING! (I wonder how many passion fruits you can get for 12 bucks in NBI?) But I bought them anyway... I wanted the taste of home. One the property (Future home site) we have many apple trees. Probably atleast 15 trees maybe even more... and wild raspberries. I intend to plant every fruit possible that can survive in this zone...
