From My Corner of the Universe

This morning, the bushes were iced.  It’s always so strange how one day it’s nice and warm and the next day it’s like the middle of winter.

Mom washing scallions she picked from her garden for me.  I’m still not sure what to use them for.  Maybe I’ll mash them with some Thai peppers, tomatoes, and lime juice.

My brother modeling the mangosteen for me.  These things were expensive.  They tasted kind of slimy, sweet, and sour.  This was my first time trying a mangosteen.

Rambutan.  Loved them, but again, quite expensive here.  I’ve had these canned but much prefer them fresh.

Dragon fruit.

My dad holding these so I could take this shot.

It tasted like the kiwi fruit but a lot firmer and slightly crunchy…and maybe less sour.  This was the first time I’ve had this fruit too.

More peach blossoms with a twist.  I blended painted papers to create a textured painted look:

And last, Kylie posing for me.
