They’re HERE 🥹 Lotus told me she’d seen them in the local fruit & veg store and so we made a special trip & then I did a lil happy dance when we spotted them sitting all ripe & pretty ready to be devoured 😭🥭
I have also had a few messages from fellow members of the Mango Appreciation Society letting me know they’re BACK, appreciate you guys 🙏🏽
And so here we are with my annual ‘first mango of the season’ shot because I do love a yearly tradition 😂📷✌🏽
Seriously though, I do love having my eyes open to the varying changes & appearances that signal the turning of the Wheel of The Year. Ostara (Spring Equinox) just passed us by on Sept 23rd & I know mangoes are close when we pass Equinox 🫶🏽
Since I was a child the first appearance of mangoes have signalled the beginnings of my fav time of the year 🌸🥭☀️🥭🌸
Spring-a-ling-a-ding-dong heading into those delicious scorching hot days of Summer... BRING IT! ☀️🔥☀️
These precious fruits of the Goddess, full of pure golden sunshine delight, do all the good things to every part of me. Like eyes rolling into the back of my head style 🙄😍 I would totally not be averse to bathing naked in their sticky, pulpy, sexy magick... just saying 🙊
This mango right here, for me, represents the simplest of happy inducing feelz. It means the blossoms have appeared on the fruit trees & the blanket of vibrant green foliage & fruit set has begun 🤗 It means the urge to get back into the garden has hit, a ‘chore’ I adore 😉 It means the scent of Neighbourhood barbecues has begun wafting into my nostrils of an evening & that beach weather is imminent (although this year is going to look a little different for those of us in Adelaide 🌊😅).
The children have inherited my mad amour for the majestic mango & so we generally get a cheek each and then it’s a showdown for seed rights! 2 mangoes a sitting... an expensive habit it seems, but a LOT cheaper than illicit drugs (just 😅)so, WINNING I guess 🤷🏽♀️😂
Mangoes have a rather distinct flavour that peeps seem to either completely love or totally NOT love...
Do you love or dislike?
Mangoes mangoes mangoes — I could speak about them for days apparently 🤗
