Mango Tango!

 


A knock on the door heralded the mango Fairy paying us a visit, 
I said to Beau who is it?


We found Beaus Godmother, Jackie's husband, Richard at the door,
He had bags of mangos all over the porch floor.
there were red ones and green ones, too many to count.
It really was a ginormous amount!
Two bowls and a box overrun with fruit,
and yet another box of really green ones to boot.
we left the green on the bench,
to ripen and hope they left no stench.
I took two bags of 8 each to my two friends,
and left all of these to ripen and peel, freeze and blend.
Each day I make ice cream of frozen fruit, exactly at 10.
Thank You Jackie and Richard, for mango from your yard,
and for working to pick the, we know it was hard.

 Beau say he would rather trade the fruit for a petting visit with HIM.

What a wonderful gift. Mangos here cost an arm and a leg and they have of course been picked so much earlier sometimes they never seem to really ripen and stay hard. Who can resist mangos - the fruit of heaven to be sure.

Yum. What a great gift. And even better that there was enough you could share with other friends too.

What a great supply of mangoes your neighbors gifted you with, Sandra, and nice that you could pay that forward and gift other neighbors😀I enjoy mangoes as well, and it’s too bad we didn’t live closer!

Beau's Fairy Godmother was very kind

What generous friends!
I don't know that I've ever seen a mango (noticed, rather) -- much less, tasted one. Should I put that on my List?

Lucky humans. Mangoes are very expensive in UK and it is difficult to buy ripe ones (F used to get them in a Bangladeshi market in London but it has been years since she was able to get to that market). She says they used to fall off trees in the Caribbean. Imagine hving too many mangoes - is that even possible? xxx Mr T and F

Wow, what a treat. I've never bought more than one mango at a time and like some others who commented I find it hard to determine when they're ripe and best to eat.

I am so jealous. What a great treat they gave to you. How nice that you shared them too! I love mango's.

Rose said...

Those are good friends to pick and bring them to you. And I bet Beau was overjoyed.

Oh my goodness, how wonderful and such good friends!

So leaving them outside, won't beau eat them? I know when you go out with him, you have to be on mango patrol. Well...maybe that is avocados!

Ida said...

What a nice surprise and Yum!

Linda said...

You have sweet neighbors! They remind me of how you share your avocados!
