Out and About: More Island Scenes

I hope you enjoy some of these recent island scenes from our yard and out and about.

Pomorrosa mulberry surinam cherry
Some of the delicious produce we grow here at our place: pomarrosa (large pink pear-shaped fruit), mulberry (black berry) and Surinam cherry (little pumpkin looking fruit)

Horse and seaThis sort of captures a feeling of Rincón doesn’t it? Horse and sea

Turkey mama and babies
Turkey mama and even more pavitos came out of the forest. We’re going to have to downsize on the number of turkeys as we are getting overrun!

More Around the House and Yard

Fall has descended. The tomatoes have suffered their first frost, so we had to go and pick them. The deciduous trees are all turning yellow, red and brown and it looks gorgeous outside. We are back up to about 60 degree weather, so we have been spending time outdoors again. We have also started making “cold weather food” like warm breads, soup, chili, spaghetti and so on. Autumn can be comforting if you don’t have to go outside when it is really cold.


Lots of Tomatoes Picked
