The Fruits of our Labor


Early this spring we planted an orange tree in our backyard. We've tried to be diligent in watering it and nurturing it as much as we can. This has mainly been Carmen's responsibility. Well, this morning we realized that there were two oranges ready to pick! The girls were very excited to taste them. They were delicious! There is one more orange that looks like it will be ready in another week. I explained to Carmen that we have that yummy fruit due to her hard work of taking care of the tree. Hopefully we can continue to nurture it enough that will provide us with more yummy fruit!

How cool! Fresh squeezed orange juice sounds good too...
