Oranges

We have three oranges growing on our little orange tree, the flowers that came at the start were little white with a yellow dot in the middle.  This tree was not suppose to flower for two years, so it is a year early.  I will find the photos later and post them.
I got to visist with my cousin Patty this week, it was so great to see her again.  She has a VERY busy life these days with kids, parents, grandkids and school.  I hope she can find time to drop me an email once in a while. 
The government is really doing STUPID things these days!!!  I think it stinks that their ideas do not include having the million and billionaires paying more than the working poor or middle class.
I have been have some nice visits and visits with my sisters, we were even able to get my brother in law comfortable so he could sleep.  Anybody know how to trim an orange tree?  Next time we will get a lemon tree.   Can you Doug it?

Birds


We've been trying to get some pictures of the visitors to one of the birdbaths here as well as at the feeders but haven't had much luck. Still it's nice out in the garden and we've been watching birds pop in and out of the wren house hanging on the arbor as well.
