Okay perhaps really not on our heads (although it COULD happen), but all day long you hear loud BOOMs and BANGS where they are falling on the rooftops of the buildings here. We have had fresh mangoes just about every day. Several people have come and gotten bucketfuls. The best ones are up in the tree though. The ones that aren't over ripened and ready to fall. So how do you get them down?
Well one option that 'Pablo' thoroughly enjoys is
you throw your machete up at them to knock them down. Alfonso and 'Pablo' had a great time the other night doing this. 'Fonso' was able to take a bag full home with him and we have a bag full here.
Another option is climb....high...like Julio is doing (in flip flops no less)!
But no matter, there is always a tasty reward at the end of your efforts!
That didn't cost $1.79 like mangoes did at Kroger just before we left.
YUMMY!!
(if only I had some jelly canning jars to make some mango jelly that I could carry home....sigh)
oh and not to rub it in any more or anything, but yesterday for lunch we had bananas grown right here on the the property, there are also papayas, icacos, and every day the first week we were here someone was kind enough to chop down a fresh coconut for John Mark to drink the milk from.
He loves fresh coconut milk!

Between the mangoes and the coconut milk, JM must be in hog heaven!
We were talking about him over dinner earlier, as Holland and I shared a REALLY yummy (but not free) mango.
Love you ALL!

Love you too....and YES I think this is what John Mark's idea of heaven is. ha ha!! Fruit all around him of all sorts and kinds, free for the picking and available just about all day. MK read an article today about apples and bananas and the health benefits of both and we all decided John Mark must be the most healthy non-cancer prone person we know!!! :-)
