Power of suggestion ...

We received a welcome visit from someone yesterday. This someone tasted the coconut pieces we had saved for her and pronounced them good. Later as she was leaving, she viewed the nuts surrounding the crown of our little tree and was impressed that it is doing so well. The tallest fronds are hardly as tall as the roof. It was a breezy afternoon and as we stood near the tree it swayed a little, just like a grown-up tree. It must have been trying to act older than it is, showing off.

The offer to trade mangos for coconuts was repeated and the suggestion offered
that we should post pictures of our precocious nut and frond generator (factory, as Big Ed says). Perhaps so ...

As long as the county doesn't chop it down, we'll get mangos one way or another.

Our mango tree gone,
Coconut stands in its place.
Trade goods growing well.

These years of time,
We lived under Pecans but
I still miss Lime.

Haiku?
