Pummelo or Pomelo?



We were all surprised to see how this fruit tasted.  It is in season in February, and the kids loved it.  We plan to eat more of this fruit.



This fruit, after it's peeled, pulls away in sections from the center.

Sunshine Delight

Getting back to the gym, after being sick, has been great for me.  The sun shining today is always a welcome to my body and soul.

Today, we are trying a new fruit - Pummelo.  It is best for jam and jellies.  It's been fun trying new foods.

I'm still plugging away on another hope chest blanket.  My goal was 2 rows a night, and I've pretty much kept up with that.  It's about 60 inches wide.

Besides reading library books, magazines, and my Bible, I have been working on more articles. 

Items added to my mini "bucket list":  dehydrate eggs, can grape jelly, and add hand towels to the Christmas crochet list.
