Good morning everyone, hope your weekend is going well for you all.
Chief, kind of hard to grow grapes in our area (you've been here so you know why), but lots of folks have citrus trees in their yards. Many because their homes are built on former citrus groves and many builders chose to leave a lot of the trees. Sun City is one where the streets are still lined with old orange trees. Some charities, like St. Vincent De Paul go around and collect citrus to distribute to the needy. There's one type of tree that has been planted as decoration that is not eatable. We have ornamental orange trees that have a thick skin and are very pulpy and many tourists try to eat one. I guess they're also very sour, 'cause they don't get very far. Enough about that, I just hope the Chief's grapes are more eatable than those oranges.
Our rain and low temps are well past us and we will be in the high 80's to mid-90's for the next few weeks at least. We were close to turning the A/C on a few days ago, and that seems a bit odd when a good portion of the country is still battling snow storms. :?
