Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a potpourri bottle?  Well, I’ll tell you.

We are normally members of the “Closed-door, Air Conditioner-on” club.  At this time of year, we actually spend quite a bit of time outside playing shuffleboard, [2] pétanque, or participating in other activities.  At these times we are overwhelmed with fabulous aromas emitted by the nearby orange and other fruit trees.

Many of the trees have been trimmed for easy fruit access when picking time arrives.

We are a little surprised that some of the fields remain unpicked.  Apparently, either the trees have different blooming schedules, or this winter’s freeze caused some damage to the crop.  Perhaps both.
