Orange picking

Today we decided to pick some of the oranges off the tree in the backyard. Ok, Phil did the picking, I did the, "EWWW, there are ants on this orange." and the ever-loving, "OMG! That was a spider!!" LOL Every year the oranges on the tree get bigger and bigger. The ones on the top of the tree were the size of grapefruits.

Here's Phil depositing the oranges on the counter in the backyard.

These things are huge!! We weighed one, and one of the larger ones was over 1 pound in weight! It is amazing that they got so big. We still have about half a tree to finish picking before they all start falling off the tree. California Sunshine. ;)
