Fruit Trees

One thing we will miss about our rental house is the abundance of free, fresh fruit.

In the backyard is this grapefruit tree which is just now coming into the prime of its season. The fruit are all big and juicy and taste very good. There is also a tree in the back that is a hybrid orange and lemon. It actually grows two different kinds of fruit and they're both good.

In the front yard there is an orange tree overflowing with oranges as big as softballs that are as juicy and tasty as any oranges I've had. Fortunately the new house also has a mature orange tree in the backyard and the one I grabbed off it a couple of weeks ago was fantastic.

New Griddle

Santa brought us a new griddle for Christmas.
We've been able to ring in the New Year with pancake breakfasts on Sunday mornings. Although, last weekend Aimee was a bit under the weather. The doctor ordered her to stay home from work for a few days due to a sinus infection. Now, thanks to antibiotics and lots of rest she is doing much better.
