One aunt is my fan when it comes to gardening. That's why she is always first in the list of recipients of my harvests. In the picture are the star fruits, cashew fruits, and several plastic containers of pickled mangoes. She had already received that yesterday and everyone in her home were jubilant.
I posted this just to make you envy, waheehee.

@LadyDuck my aunt called to thank me. They ate the fresh star fruits and cashew fruits at once. Her grandchildren loved those.

@May2k8 we are lucky that pineapple is in season. The fresh pineapple is nice to eat when kept in the fridge.

The cashew fruit is very rare now that even here it is not available in the market anymore.

My aunt also says that she is lucky. When I was small, she took care of me. She was even the one who entered me in 1st grade in school.

@oahuwriter oh, yes, I am very grateful to my aunt so I am showing my affection with the material things that I can give her. She is already 85 but still quite strong and normal.

She loves that. It's actually the second wave because I already sent her some pickled mangoes late last month.
