Friday Fruits. Fresh Picked Oranges
Happy Friday!
I hope you had a good week and are looking forward to a relaxing and fun weekend. It’s citrus season around here and if you live in the Bay Area and are driving around the neighborhoods you are probably seeing lots and lots of orange and lemon trees in every other front yard dripping with hundreds of oranges, tangerines and lemons. I see so many citrus on these trees and fallen on the floor that I wish I could just pick them all up and bring them home.

In fact, I feel the camera didnât do justice to how stunning these trees are looking right now. Happy Friday to you all! Continue reading Friday Fall Leaves
