Satsuma time!
Steph asked me if I wanted to go pick satsumas with them yesterday; of course I said yes. We went out to the orchard where there were trees loaded with satsumas!
Lots of yummy ripe ones ready to eat
And eat they did!
Between eating satsumas, they loaded buckets and buckets to take home for later:
Made sure they were all perfect:
They picked big ones and little ones, smooth ones and bumpy ones:
And they ate satsumas:
And ate more satsumas:
The girls had a lot of fun and worked together:
To bring in the fruit:
Each little one brought in a large overloaded bucket of satsumas to be weighed and charged. This bucket was $10.00 - USD of course!
And they were happy; tummies full, and more coming home to keep them full for days to come.
It made me miss the satsuma tree a very dear friend gave to me when we bought our last house... we had to leave it behind, but I loved it. Here is a picture of our satsuma tree:
Every single year, it loaded down with hundreds of satsumas. It is an amazing little tree and brought us all much happiness. pR and I spent hours and hours sitting on the patio swing eating *very* fresh satsumas; Lady shared them, Skippy shared them and punkin and I shared them. They were delicious!
Ahhh, the warm fuzzy memories :-)

You got some really great shots of the girls! Thanks for sharing....in all of the madness and rush of getting out of the house, the camera didn't make it. At least I got pics from last year!
We have to go pick some more in the near future too....between taking some to the Coast Guard pot luck, and then another big bowl of them being gobbled up by a slew of hungry girls at dance classes last Friday night, we only have a few left!
