Oahu, Center Of My World

 A  L  O  H  A  From Honolulu!
After I fell in love with you, 

I fell in love with my life.

"Omni-Reaching Papaya Tree"

Fine fruit is the flower 

of commodities. It is the 

most perfect union of the 

useful and the beautiful 

that the earth knows. 

Trees full of soft foliage; 

blossoms fresh with 

spring bounty; and, 

finally, fruit, rich, 

bloom-dusted, melting, 

and luscious. 

Andrew Jackson Downing






A Mango In The Streets. . . 

And the fruits will outdo 

what the flowers have promised.

François de Malherbe

A fruit is a vegetable 

with looks and money. 

Plus, if you let fruit rot, 

it turns into wine, 

something brussel sprouts

never do.

  1. Smiling at that last quote - but then I loathe brussel sprouts.
