My New "Office"

When you live in a very, very small space...you get very creative at how to use it!
This is my new "office" (and my new computer).
Lar had this idea to build a movable desk on top of the washer and dryer.
The board pulls out and is supported on each edge to hold it securely.
I purchased a small collapsible stool that fits underneath the "desk" when it is pulled out.
The board lifts off easily and the computer moves up to a work shelf when I need to use the washer and dryer.
It's very cool!

Star Fruit

This is a "Star Fruit" Tree. At first, the fruit
looks like a big green leaf on the tree, but then
it begins to ripen and turn yellow. Then it
becomes like big yellow ornaments on the tree...
tons of them!

This is another one of the many fruit trees in our yard
that I am able to pick fresh fruit from every day.

The whole fruit can be eaten.
When sliced, it has the shape of a five pointed star...
hence it's name.
It's flavor is crisp and juicy and sweet,
but not overwhelmingly sweet.
I eat it just plain like this, or sometimes I use
the fruit to make a smoothie.
If you ever see one in the market, be sure and try it!
