furthermore, we finally made it to the post office where another package has been waiting to be picked up since last week. in there was a rain coat for my daughter & some treats: mulberries & dried pineapple … yummy!

thank you so much, dear s. & a.! i guess it’s up to us to send some mail … time is running these days, with the kids’ father being here for a visit & lots of work to be done.

last week i found by chance that organic apples sometimes are treated with 50° C hot water to make them better suitable for storage – what a shock! i instantly sent a mail to the farmer to express my concern about this & to ask for details. they rang me up & we had an interesting talk. in the end they asked me to come & pick some apples myself. and so we did – this afternoon

fresh & yummy

very inspiring … it makes me dream of summer, warmth, sun … the playa cacao … this winter will be our last one here!
