Please forgive for my
negligence... ^_^

Well...I'm happy joining "challenge Summer Element Blog Hop"...
Thanks so much Mrs Rita "Toltec Jewels" as the host of this blog hop... :)


My country Indonesia only have 2 seasons...dry season and wet or rainy season...
In most parts of Indonesia, the rainy season falls between November until May (low season), and the dry season between June until October (high season)...
Now is June, so it was dry season...

I live in a village of small town in central of Java...there are many rice field in here...

...rice field...

...rice grains...

In June, most of the farmers have already harvest their rice plant...
After harvest, we will see heaps of straw in their fields...

...after harvest...

Around our house, we have a lot of fruits plant...
My father likes to plant any fruit trees since I was a kid...
There are dragon fruit, mango, rambutan, matoa, soursop, lemon and longan fruit...
But in June, only longan fruit will to bear fruit...



...longan tree...
...matoa tree...

Today (24th June), I add some photos of our fruits because many readers never see them... :) 
I understand because those are tropical fruit and only live in tropics...
I only have some picture of my fruits...picture of my rambutan, longan and dragon fruit.....
...my longan fruit detail...


...my dragon fruit ( January 2012 )...
...harvest of my rambutan fruit ( December 2011 )...
Because another fruits not to bear fruit in June, so I add pictures of another fruits from internet...  :)

...soursop fruit...
...matoa fruit...

I make necklace and bracelet for Summer Element blog hop"...
I hope will describe "summer" in everywhere although we never seen... :)

  6. Tanti,

    Today is the first day of summer here, and what a treat to see your beautiful summer jewelry! The coral beads and pink lampwork is lovely. Your stainless steel wire work is very elegant, perfectly done. The necklace and bracelet are beautiful, Tanti!

    I am delighted to get to see Indonesia too! Mailing a package to you last year (I think it was during the low season, right? :), I tried to imagine where you lived and what it was like. Now, I see your beautiful home! Thank you for sharing photos. The rice fields and harvest are so new to me. Very neat to see! And the fruit you have is amazing. I have never seen rambutan, matoa, soursop, lemon and longan fruit -- only mango and dragon fruit.

    Seeing your home in the summertime is a gift. Seeing your beautiful jewelry is also a gift. I'm so glad we are friends, dear Tanti! Your blog is lovely, your jewelry is lovely, and so are you.

    Love,
    Rita
