Rose apple

 It tastes like rose-infused guava. Very odd to me but also delicious. Definitely an acquired taste.

Daydreaming with friends

 

 

Hanging out

 My allergies don't seem as bad as before. But my eyes did feel a little dry and itchy last night.

It's cooler at night, but we're all very thankful for air conditioning....

Easter gift

 

20 years later

 I think I first heard of this book, a memoir by a doctor who worked with leprosy patients, a little more than 20 years ago and I finally got around to picking it up. This book is fascinating. It's a little difficult for me because I don't think like a scientist and I certainly hate feeling pain. But I am starting to see that he is right. Pain is a gift. But I think I need to keep on reading. Maybe I will get the other book, In The Likeness of God, too.

Pruning

 

Beans from my friend's garden. We pruned the bean plants in the front garden and that was the first time I saw a plant being pruned.

Pruning?? It looked like destruction!!!!!

More gardening

 

Homemade fertilizer.

The seeds I planted are coming up.

Refueling.

 

My mom is keeping track of how old my plant is. She says it's 1.5 years old now. Watering it with rice water and zucchini water seems to help.

Together in the Lord
