Look what I grew!

Okay, the tree did the heavy lifting, but I watered it.

Just in time for Christmas, my orange tree has given of it's bounty. Six (six!) oranges.

My last harvest yielded oranges the size of golf balls. This time around there is a greater size range. The largest is about the size of a baseball.

 

And the smallest. . . well, as you see.

 

Patriotic Fruit

Happy Independence Day! 

If you're not American, pull up a chair anyway. We're happy to share.

My lunch - an experiment that I have high hopes for.

I'm not expecting much sleep tonight, my neighbors proved over New Year's Eve that fireworks are very much their thing. So I'm going to have a good lunch and a nap, before I settle in for an evening of explosions.

I found starfruit in the grocery store and couldn't resist. I think the last time I had them I was 13. Unfortunately, I forgot that the best thing about starfruit is the shape. Ah well, at least it's pretty and very holiday appropriate. 

Happy July 4th!

Orange Harvest

Just a quick post today.

This weekend I harvested my orange tree. I got seven little oranges. Score!

But the best thing? Because they are blood oranges, the insides are pink!
