It's Raining Oranges



Throughout the Central Valley, orange trees are colored with ready-to-pick fruit and after nine months of waiting, this California native is a happy girl.  There is nothing like a glass of orange juice, fresh from the tree, so I am always a bit giddy to see this fruit come into season.  Each year, the risk of freezing conditions in the Central Valley put oranges at risk of frost damage.  Fortunately, due to a strange winter season in which water has actually fallen from the sky (or rain if you prefer), frost has been minimal.  This is great news for orange lovers near and far.  Cheers!
