New Fruit

Remember the list of fruits we had in the yard?

Well there was one that I had missed: it's a type of tropical cherry! It's small and red like a cherry, but that's where the similarity ends. It has this sort of ridge all along it, and there's a huge seed in the middle. It's juicy, and the juice can really stain your clothes. Like I care about that sort of stuff. Anyways, the taste is a little strange. It's like sweet, but peppery tasting afterwards. Yeah I'm not that good at describing stuff like that. It's unbelievably dry and hot and all the plants are dying. Whenever you walk these days the dead leaves on the ground crackle back at you. It's the time of year. We've been waiting for a package full of stuff to arrive here from the States but the shipping company that we used is horrid. It still boggles my mind that even though it's the middle of winter in Durham NC, our hometown, yet right here it's 100 degrees Fahrenheit!
