Fruits and Memories of Yesteryears

avatar
(Edited)

I am missing a good hike and it seems the wet weather is not going to make that happen for a while. And so I'm pacifying myself with good photographs of fruits up there, courtesy of the husband. These were some of those he captured on his exploration in the mountains a week ago.


I call them wild berries and interestingly, Wiki had many names for them, re: Roseleaf Bramble, Mauritius Raspberry etc. I thought Tito Ed (@tengolotodo) might like them because they seem to be a family of one of his favorite fruits - raspberries.

These definitely brought back memories of the years when I and my cousins were but young kids and we would be exploring the hills close to our house collecting these, blackberries and passion fruits too. Hmmm... those were the days.



And Pomelos! No, they aren't wild. But they too, remind me of the decades gone by. It's been ages I know, it's just great to reminisce those times when all we knew was to have fun.


But then we grew fast... and life, responsibilities and stuff took over. Perhaps one of the reasons why we love to explore now and then is because we are thirsty of those years of our innocence and giving in to the inner child in us is a way to quench such a thirst?



That might be or even more...

Anyhow, the new month quietly came, not that it was unnoticed but the past few days had been really peaceful until yesterday evening when the husband hurt his foot from a rusty nail while cleaning debris from the yard.

It's funny to think that although he already saw the nail protruding out the ground, he still stepped on it. The nail (albeit rusty) did a pretty good job going through his boots into the sole of his right foot making him howl for a while. We had a good laugh after he realized the delayed reaction from his reflexes saying his mind was late to send the message to his body, lol! I wonder if that is a relatable experience?

He's doing good thankfully, and so am I...

And I hope the new week is going well for you. Cheers!

Ah huh. We wonder and rekindle what it's like to be a child so we can escape a little from the chaotic adjusting life. Hehe. We want to remember how to take it easy.
