9/1

My organic object is a passionfruit. I assumed passionfruit would be pretty and vibrant due to the beautiful name. However, I was wrong. My passionfruit consists of very dull colors and is speckled with brown spots. This does not influence the smell, however. The passion fruit smells sweet and refreshing; almost like a breath of beachy air. My passionfruit is very lightweight. It feels like I am holding something that is hollow. It is also a squishy object, which is an indicator that it might be ripe soon. The surface is very smooth and shiny. It is a very satisfying object to hold. It also fits easily in my backpack whenever I have to transport it. When I carried it to class, it felt like I might as well be carrying a feather. I am so glad I chose a passionfruit because its features seem very exotic.

My passionfruit is beginning to ripen. The fruit has definitely changed over the course of two days. Its once smooth skin is beginning to develop into a wrinkled surface. The fruit also seems denser, almost like a tennis ball. I wonder if Patricia the passionfruit is almost ready to be eaten. The fruit smells refreshing; the scent transports me to a quiet beach in the Caribbean. I can just imagine eating this fruit in a hammock on a tropical island. What once looked like a perfect fruit is now beginning to look weary and old. I hope this means that it is almost time to taste it!
