Zela & I had so much fun on the farm this past weekend, picking sweet, yummy, fuzzy organic peaches! They’re very good, but so fuzzy! I’ve been peeling mine. We also got grapefruit, avocados, oranges, lemons, wonderful melons, apples and big red juicy tomatoes.
The grapefruits are really tasty. Not too sour, just tart enough. I was so hungry from fruit picking I started peeling & eating them underneath the tree! Grapefruit is so good for you. Cleansing, and really filling with all the fiber. A terrific diet food!
Our farmer friend picked special melons for us to sample. Yum! They were really good! Small, exotic looking cantaloupe type melons, he said they were from France. He couldn’t find the seed pack to tell us the name.
He did say he’d seen an infomercial recently where someone was advertising an extract from this exact melon as an anti-aging secret in a skin care formula. So after I ate one of the melons this morning, I rubbed the peel all over my face 🙂
Zela is great with the fruit picking pole, which was good, since I was over heating and my sunscreen was melting in rivulets. After the farm, we went to the bazaar and got to meet this bright colorful (and a little cranky) parrot! It was really fun having him on my arm. He was heavy!
Here’s a picture of a new little hummingbird that likes to perch outside my kitchen window. He’s adorable!! He loves to sit on that leaf. He fluffs his feathers, yawns, eats bugs and poops. That part isn’t as cute. Ha!! He sees me in the window, eating fruit, rinsing sprouts, doing dishes, making salads.
