fruit!

I walked into the kitchen the other day and just couldn't get 
over how much fruit we had! 
(There's more in the fridge!) 
Watermelon (we bought it for $1.50 
from a man that stops by each morning with his 
motorcycle pulling a trailer full of fresh veggies and fruit), 
plums (we bought from a man that walks by our 
house every other day with two baskets full of fruit , 
oranges
lemons (a guy from our church 
pulled them off his tree for us), 
grapes (my language helper brought them 
from her vines as a gift when we had her family over),  
Brazilian mangos (my language helper saw them 
on the way to our house and picked some for us) 
and bananas!  
It still amazes us when we see fruit hanging 
on so many trees here!  And if they are hanging 
over the sidewalk, they are free for the taking!
 We saw TONS of watermelons on the way to the creek
last week.  Out of the city you can find them for $0.50 each!

Fruit is so refreshing in this hot weather -
thank You, Lord, for fruit!
