An Orange


Our orange tree yielded it's first fruit ever this year--one orange.

I don't know why this tree is growing so very slowly. We planted it three years ago, and I don't think it could have grown more than an inch or two since then. But we look forward to the day our tree will yield more oranges than we know what to do with!

This year, we cut the orange into fourths and all shared in the bounty of the harvest.

I believe I gave Sareny that little purse......... That is the cutest picture of Sare giving Isaac a hug! I love it. And that is a cute little orange too. Did it have a good flavor?

Very interesting accessories that Sareny is wearing, I agree. At least you got one orange. Mom and Dad's trees never did yield any pears. Cute pictures of Sareny and Igits. His haircut is cute too.
