Thankful, yes - for SO many things.
Just now while peeling my orange I suddenly found myself once again remembering the orange groves around Fillmore, California.
I remember the neighbor who gave me oranges from her tree.
And she let me pick some of them!
I remember learning about the netting the growers put on the trees to keep out the birds - to produce seedless oranges…
I do not understand all the details about cross-pollination
but I do love seedless oranges.
And I am once again so dang grateful for those months in that place.
For those years and those places that we were able to call home for a minute
A season
A month
What an extraordinary thing
A great privilege
I continue to be astonished
And grateful
