Harvest time goes on

The biggest advantage for me being in Texas is the flora and fauna of this geographic location.
As a person who lived all life on the northern part of the planet I'm impressed by the nature of this region. On the other hand the biggest issue for me is still the temperatures of summer time. The heat is not the enjoyable part of living in Houston area in period of May-September.



This time we came for the figs and asian pears.








 The fig trees and kids. 

The fortune was not on our side since we came right before lunch time (too late) and all figs were picked up by people who came early in the morning. So we continued our familiarity with the fruit farm by going after pears of different kind and shapes.












Jujube.





We come back to this farm in autumn when the persimmons will be ripe.

Renessøy in April 2020.

  Another meeting with friends over a cup of tea, board games, and hiking in the neighborhood in April 2020 during the quarantine in Norway.  This time I went to spend some time with my beloved friend who lives on Renessøy. It is an island of tomatoes in greenhouses all over the place, sheep all over the fields. It's a tiny island filled with the smell of manure, salty wind, and amazing weather you can imagine in April on the south-western coast. Love this place. Love my friends.

Road trip. Stop in New Mexico

Image
Our another road trip for our family. 6 days and 5 nights in different places,  2 new states and almost 2500 miles / 4100km in the car. It could be a trip from Stavanger to Milan and back to Stavanger. Our first stop was Santa Fe , the town full of art galleries, beautiful architecture, gorgeous landscape, and comfortable the humidity of the air. It was just 12% in Santa Fe when the humidity in the Houston area is about 60-70% all the time. The difference in temperature and the common feeling in new conditions was significant.  Next stop is   Aztec Ruins : the footprints of Pueblo people who lived here until the 13-th century. The question of why they chose this place to stay at and why they left this place is still unanswered.
