When you’ve got mangoes, you eat them. That pretty much goes without saying.
Our neighbor has a gorgeous mango tree whose sturdy limbs hang over our tall concrete wall, mangoes dancing above our little house like the Nutcrackers’ sugar plums. As the rains rush in, high winds batter the mango tree and send fruits thudding across our red metal roof, sending shivers down my spine. 
Scaling a wooden ladder in the morning sunshine, my husband climbs high and rakes down the juicy, ripening fruits from the lofty branches, much to Summer Elizabeth’s delight. We are a fruit-loving family.
This is the first home we’ve shared where a tree covered 75% of our daily fruit allowance. It’s ideal. As the rainy season surges on, and the last of the mangoes hit the grass, it will be the end of a beautiful era, an era that will return again next May, whether we still live in this little home or not.
Stay tuned next week for an easy summer treat made from these gorgeous mangoes!

How amazing to have mangoes right off of the trees! I bet they are delicious! Life to the full! Melissa
It is a huge blessing! I’m really impressed with how prolific this tree is. It’s been full of fruit for almost a month now with no signs of stopping. Thank you for taking the time to visit today, Melissa!
How special to be able to experience that with your sweet girl. She sure is cute!
Thanks, Angela. We do tend to agree that she’s cute 🙂 So glad you came to visit tonight.
Yum! What a precious way to introduce your sweet girl to the beauty of fresh fruit! We adore mangoes around here!
Happy Friday to you!
xoxo.
Thanks for visiting, Tahnie! My little girl is a huge fruit lover, indeed. She’s an all-around great eater, not picky at all except for her aversion toward potatoes. Thanks for stopping by.
