A little about our home life.

We have mangoes growing. They are about the size of the end of my little finger but in a few months we will be eating the sweet fruit.

Wakana took me out to look at her calamansi bush. It will be a tree some day but not too soon. It has lots of flowers and will carry some fruit this year.

(calamansi - a small citrus fruit, similar to a lemon but tasting like neither a lemon nor a lime. Very good stuff. Makes great lemonade, uh, calamansi-ade.)

The tree was a wedding gift from me in honor of the island custom of the man giving his bride a breadfruit tree. We don't eat breadfruit but calamansi is another story.

Friday afternoon I was in the living room when I saw both cats acting very aggressive. There was a strange cat on the carport. This one has had numerous disputes with ours and has won every one of them. All cats were intensely aware of each others' presence... so much so that when I hissed that them they all leaped straight into the air and ran in all directions.
