Oranges and Lemons

It's citrus time.  We have a house full of lemons and oranges and mandarines.  

There are bowls of 'em on the tables and bags  waiting to be picked up, and taken away.

Our daughter gave us a huge bag of lemons and now our neighbour brought us this case of lemons.  Ever heard of the law of attraction?  This is it in action.

I took a photo of these, turned out the light and tripped over the damn crate.  I gave it really good kick.  My toes are still smarting.

Lemons here, lemons there, lemons everywhere

The last of the mandarines.  These were huge

I prefer mandarines to eat.  They peel easily and the slices separate easily.  

Another pile on the bench.  These are sanguini oranges, with blood red flesh

Also called blood oranges

They're all separated, different varieties in different places.  Some of the oranges are big and juicy, very good eating,  Others are only for juice.  Some are sweet, some are just a little sour.  

And then there is a tree full of grapefruit just outside the kitchen door.

No nasty flu bugs around here.  We are vitamin-c-ed up to the eyeballs.
