Our Backyard Garden

We have a few fruit trees in the river house yard. You see the girls pointing up at the coconut tree. We drink the milk/water from them, eat the flesh and greatly enjoy it all. But on of the best delicacies is coconut milk oil, which our friend's mother makes for us out of our coconut trees. We use it in cooking and I cannot describe just how tasty it is...so rich and creamy. The fruit you see e bear picking is a passion fruit. She declined to taste it but the bear likes to eat them for breakfast. We pluck two, cut them in half and give her a spoon to scoop out the juicy seeds. It reminds me of watermelon with all of the seeds but is super sticky sweet.

Oooohh. So do you see orange butterflies on/around your passionfruit? Is the bloom purple and kind of spiny? Sounds gorgeous and delicious!
