Who loves Mangoes???

Me! Me!! Me!!!


Unripe, green mangoes on a branch supported by an old bug-bitten wood. The branches droop to the ground if there's no support.

Above, mostly ripe mangoes ready for eating. :)

It's rainy season, and God has blessed us with so much rain this year in Ghana, unlike last year when as a nation we had to petition in prayer for rain because of our electricity power situation. This year, all we have to do is to thank God for the rains!

Every time, after a heavy rainfall, especially accompanied with strong winds, we come out of the house only to see all these ripe mangoes on the ground ready to eat. We sometimes can get 2 buckets-FULL of mangoes after the rains. Often, we've had to pack bags of mangoes as gifts to friends, we can't eat all of them! Yummy, but teeth-sticking!

But these bigger type of mangoes below, don't cause the teeth-sticking thing while and after eating them. You can actually eat a whole one or two and be satisfied as if it were a complete meal. I sometimes do that, or eat several small mangoes for lunch or supper.

Now that the season of mango is almost waning out, I just can't wait for the next. Thus, I will go back to eating water melon, orange or something like that. I wish mangoes were in season all year. :)

These big mangoes do cause a tummy stir!



I thank God for this season and for mangoes.
