Orange you glad it ain't a lime tree...

When Gabe and I first bought the house, we were ecstatic that we had a lime tree in our back yard. We anxiously waited during the summer for our limes to fall off the tree and sweeten our diet coke and guacamole. When the limes were finally big and green we pulled them all off the tree. We started to cut them up only to find that they had no taste... none. They were juiceless and disgusting. We pulled what little limes we had left on the tree off and threw them away. Stupid lime tree. We forgot about our little limes until one day, Gabe was working out in the yard and discovered the oranges. Our lime tree is an orange tree! And bloomed just in time to have christmas oranges. They are deliscious and full of juice. We only salvaged about four since we had thrown our all our yucky limes. We have fully enjoyed our Christmas "limes". Can't wait till next year. I'm going to make orange juice.
Gabe told me this was blog worthy... He even took the picture :)


When life gives you limes, make orange juice!

Hahaha....this is so funny, glad you figured it out, next year you will just have to buy limes and save the oranges from the garbage!
