First Harvest


Ok, so maybe "harvest" is a bit of a stretch. We ended up with only one orange after the Santa Ana winds blew all the blossoms off but it was huge and tasty! There are already numerous blossoms budding and we are hoping for better luck this year. Next to the orange tree is our guava tree. We had considerably more fruit but all the guavas but one fell off prematurely--I am thinking it wasn't watered enough because they were kind of shriveled. We are now shopping around for an avocado tree to go with our collection--and someplace to plant them all!

Hunter turns 9!


Hunter has started reading the Harry Potter books and think Quidditch is the coolest sport. So when I asked him what kind of cake he wanted "Quidditch" was his answer. We tossed around all kinds of ideas--his more on the unattainable to impossible side. We finally resolved on a golden snitch but somehow that grew into the quaffle and blundgers. If you are unfamiliar with all those terms, I suggest google or a kid to explain it to you.
