Ode to Mango
Pearls of summer sun
one bite can stop time and brings
me back to childhood...
My earliest memory of this "fruit of the gods" is that I was allergic to the sap. I'd have a reaction similar to eating crab. Two of my favorite foods in the world and I would break out in rash after eating them.
It was worth the pain.
This season I have been blessed by a plethora of the succulent spheres of sappy sweetness. Yum.
My mood: exhausted

I am waiting for my two mango trees to hurry up and give me fruit! I think I have a few more years to wait :-(
