Persimmon season is oficially opened


I was waiting for September since July. Unfortunately, the farm where we went last time to was closed because of the road reparations. Due to the enormous size of  Texas State and Houston area, it is not a big deal to find out an alternative, a backup plan.  There is just one factor you have to take into consideration.  You are going to travel for several hours to a destination.


This is how I found out the persimmon farm, who runs the Russian lady, at a distance of 1.5 hours of driving from our place.




The farm owner has animals who run after you in hope of receiving the fresh fruits from the trees.




Every tree has a label with the variety of persimmon.
Saruga kaki.

Jiombo kaki/persimmon.

Saigo persimmon.



This tree had the sign Unknown variety. The size of fruit is as huge as a first of a big adult man. We did not try it and did not tear off any of them cause they were too green to eat.










This guy is the smart donkey. Is he from SHREK?

We picked up a bucket of slightly yellow unripe persimmons. But after a few days, they became ripe, sweet and orange as the sun.

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.
