Quick - Look There!

Quick - look at this picture! What do you see?

Haha - No, not Lily, though she is gorgeous, of course. No... look closer now...

Here's a better one in case you can't see...

Yes Ma'am! Or Sir! That, my friends, is an avocado lying on the ground under the tree. It was still *in* the tree yesterday, so it's as fresh as it's going to get, I reckon. 

The poor avocado tree gets flush with flowers in the spring (what passes for spring here, haha!) but this is the first year for *any* avocados. There were three. The first fell off when it was really small. The second one I pulled off (it was eye level). Well, I tugged and it came free, so I figured it was good to go. 

Then this last one hung there forever. And finally, here it is! Guacamole for dinner, I tell ya'! 

Yum!
