We Could Have Been Oranges!

Last week, the yard was filled with the scent of orange blossoms...

They gradually opened,

and the scent was joined by the buzzing industry of bees...

And then the rains came.

boo hoo hoo. I thought we were going to have a bumper crop this year...

Isn't that just like life? It never rains but it pours. Just look at all the snow in the mountains and think of all the happy farmers, citrus notwithstanding.

Looks like there are enough remaining blossoms to provide a pretty good crop. You don't want ten thousand oranges breaking the branches which you would have to prop up with 2X4s. Be sure to tell us the results next winter.
