I posted a lengthy piece yesterday but my laptop or web connection failed me. In summary: I doubled back to get the crunchy jackfruit but the fruitstand was closed. However, a farmer owned relatively large supermarket up the stree not only had jackfruit but also abiu. Sweet. Later that day we drove to Mossman and I happened to find a fruit stand (see link below). "Dee", the +70 year old proprieter of the 300 acre family farm is amazing. we bought mamey sapotesm huge biriba, huge custard apples and more. But the list she has of her fruit trees is even more amazing. She grew up among Asians and thus got a taste for tropical fruit. She has scores of varieties, some I have never heard of (even after seeing seemingly everything of this site!). Much are straight from the Asian tropics. Champedak, marang, mango, sapodilla, jackfruit, rambi, rambutan, wax jambu - she has it all. And a whole bunch of items unfamiliar too me. Awesome. My only regret was not taking a picture of the chalkboard list she had of her trees. She did show me her scrapbook with pictures of harvests...delightful. She says her are 4 family members alone pick all the fruit. Can you imagine? The tropics in Australia, btw, are as tropical as tropical gets.

Wishing our Australian CF friends a great day!! And prayers for clear skies and quick flood recovery.

heck in some areas, it isn't cool to plant petunias in an old toilet in the yard... so, then what does one do? mosaic it of course! I remember when 'altered books' was an issue!!.lol I remember being one who frowned on that concept.. boy did I get my thinking cap turned around.. there are fabulous things done with books.. I had to let go of the 'don't bend the corners' of the books..tight ingraining I had to relearn. chances are high that others will see your GOG and want to make their own.. how else do things catch on? it's all appreciated here, for sure!

I saw the ones with the cyclists before. I think, they are for real. ;) Moni PS, those were from last summer, Australien Summer, which during in our winter!
