time for something orange


if i am back in montreal now
it would probably be referred to pumpkins


however since i am in japan
something orange at this time of the season refers to

...persimmons

the merit of living in country side in japan is
i get seasonal veggies and fruits from ppl around me

and guess what i got yesterday?!?

a bag full of persimmons!!
YEAH!
i love them so it's ok

for now...i have endless supply of persimmons
>because my jap grandma has a persimmon tree in her backyard
a month ago...i had endless supply of chestnuts
>because she also has a chestnut tree in her backyard
2 months ago...i had endless supply of eggplant, cucumbers, and all kinds of tomatos
>because she also grows them in her backyard
in may...i had endless supply of bamboo shoots
>because she also has a bamboo forest in her backyard

go figure how many things grow in her backyard
it's like magic!!
