Orange Blossoms!


For years after our move to Virginia Street, we would always have oranges coming out of our ears.  So many, in fact, that we would leave hard-to-reach fruit on the trees (orange trees are extremely thorny). After the big freeze of February 2011, there were no more blossoms or fruit.  All of the citrus trees in El Paso died back to the roots, and I feared that ours grew back from below the grafts. But this year, finally, we are getting blossoms.  Which means that fruit will--hopefully--follow.
