Friday, It Is


Once again...
we are picking guavas

so are the birds

which means...
if we are to get any of them...
we need to pick them faster than those fine-feathered creatures of the skies



the cabbages planted a couple of months ago are coming along nicely


maybe it's me...
but, they sure do make a pretty picture...
especially in the kitchen



and really...
there is just something about seeing the tops of trees with their green leaves...


and peering through them to the blue sky



and coming back down from the tree tops...
lots of coconuts deck the palm trees with emerald jewels...
young, green coconuts


and these jewels carry delicious, sweet nectar...


that is just right on a warm, sunny day...
high in potassium, electrolytes, and very hydrating...
which are great combinations when working hard outdoors

I offered a wee bit to the neighbor dog, with the name of, Friday...
who stuck out her tongue with a "yeck"
she prefers "a piece of cheese, please"
she's feeding puppies these days and I always oblige her with a cheese treat


after the nectar, comes the "pudding"...
or as most people call it, "jelly"
which lines the inside nut shell of the coconut


soft and sweet; easy to scoop up with a spoon


it tastes just like...
coconut; a little sweet and mildly nutty

coconut water nuts, we call them



and still, the zinnias near the garden keep coming
bloom on! zinnia blossoms...


May your day or night bloom in the grace of the Lord.
