Molokita Harvest

Tuesday, April 6
Today, Aaron began working on setting up the bigger rain tank.  He has to dig seven holes about 2 feet into the coral to hold the posts upon which the rain tank will sit.  Our neighbors have been telling us for a while that we should cut down our molokita tree, and today, Aaron finally convinced me that we didn't want molokita bombing our rain tank or leaves clogging the water.  The tree had been growing in two parts, so Walter Afua and Aaron chopped down the side towards the house.  As a result, we had hundreds of molokita!
 
Neighbor kids came and I gave them plastic bags to load up.  They helped us squeeze some for juice.  Molokita are not as sweet as oranges, and their juice is quite potent, so we dilute our molokita juice and add a little bit of sugar.  We still have a big pile on the porch, and I envision us drinking lots of molokita juice this next week!

Molokita juice sounds better to me...I would enjoy just the rice, thank you...ha!!!

Time is short here and too much to do, but we are looking forward to our days with you all.

Love you
