We don't get much exotic fruit around here. It's all apples and oranges. Occasionally Walmart will have pummelos (which aren't so much exotic as they are just plain weird).

But I found some carambolas (AKA starfruit) at Meijers the other day and decided to try one.  

WOW!!

They're awesome. They're like apples but more fun! I'm hooked. Not to mention, one 5oz serving of starfruit is only 45 calories. That's the kinda food I like!

It's raining here today. I LOVE the rain. Especially when the rain melts the snow. I simply cannot wait for spring. I'm dying to get out of my winter clothes and boots. Dying to go to the state park and the beach. I had such a good summer last year. We were at the beach practically everyday, the state park every weekend. I'm thinking of buying a new camera for a birthday present for myself. I hope to get some better pics than I did on my circa 2001 digital camera. 

Son is counting the days until summer. He can't wait to get to the beach too. It's the springs and summers that keep me around here. If it wasn't for them, I'd be long gone.
