cashew season

click to view large

so the cashews are back in full force.
i love cashews but having 3 trees on the property
is a bit of a headache.
last year we (ha.. the gardener)
picked them off the ground, separated the fruit
and we had them roasted.

i don't think we are going to do that this 
year.
our roaster lady isn't well.

we have some island friends who are going 
to come and pick some of  them up.

so what is the big problem with cashews?
the rotting fruit STINKS!!
it is nauseatingly disgusting.

carlos our gardener often burns
the leaves etc.
one day last week i could barely stand the smell of the
fumes from the fire
i went over to investigate and saw that he was
burning the cashews!!
the problem with that is that they are 'extremely'
toxic.
so now we have carlos trained:  no burning cashews!!
so now we have lots of rotting fruit around.
great compost
just stinky.
i am still extremely sore with neck and upper pain.
have been to therapy a couple of times
doesn't seem to be helping.
not on the computer much as typing
really irritates it.
so ...on that note...
i better get off this beast.

hope your day is good whatever you do.
