When we moved to Uruguay in 2009, I planted two avocado trees, which by now are quite large, and producing a bumper crop. 

Today we drove a box of them to the organic farm of a German family. We came back with fresh arugula, sweet potatoes, turmeric, leeks, Mandarin oranges, three kinds of squash, and a pomegranate (sweet, we’re promised —the last have been very tart).

I took two avocados (one kilo!) for Syd and his wife. When we returned from the dog walk, there were four fresh-picked grapefruit awaiting me.

From our neighbors behind, we have gotten homemade English muffins, crumpets, and most recently bagels.

I like it!

In the oven now…yumzzzz!
