Our yard came with an orange tree.
When we got here in late August, it was in bloom. I knew it was a citrus, but had no idea what kind.
It is a beautiful, generous, laden, succulent, bursting with juciness, navel orange tree. Thank you to whoever, about 20 years ago, planted this tree.
Since early June (late fall), we have been walking up to this tree whenever we feel like it and plucking a ripe orange from her branches. Just like that. In our yard.
If you have time, please write a haiku to this tree in the comments. I need to get on with the blogging.
Did you know then about these?
