Fresh fruit

[amilyn]

This afternoon we sat out back, in the sun and the cool breeze. We sat under the orange tree that's in the back yard. Let me say that again. The ORANGE TREE that's just...there...in the back yard. It was laden with beautiful oranges and tv_elf dismissed them as "out of season." I finally asked what that mean, specifically, and she said, "Oh, they're ripe in January/February."

I stared.

Then I picked one and ate it. I PICKED an orange myself in my friend's BACK YARD and ATE the orange I picked myself.

It was amazing and wonderful and...this is like a totally different planet.

I'm having a lovely holiday.
