Oranges and Orange Juice

It's orange (tangerine, clementine, tangelo, etc.) season!
Nearly every home has some type of citrus tree, and there are oranges all over the ground during this time of year.  I like oranges alright, but I would take Michigan's apple season over Florida's orange season ANY day.  Seeing as that isn't an option, and we'll continue paying a premium (upwards of $3 a pound) for mediocre apples, I will embrace the plethora of oranges.
Phil juiced several dozen tangerines and oranges,
so we enjoyed freshly squeezed juice for a while.
Clare, too, has come to enjoy her daily dose of Vitamin C.
Before eating them, she organizes them perfectly on top of her cup.
Naturally.
Cheese!  Yes, that is Clare saying, "Cheese" while eating oranges.
This "cheese" face is her new thing, so you'll probably see more pictures with this pose.

I agree about the orange vs. apple season. The oranges out here are amazing (especially the mandarins), but I still miss my MI apples. :)

I love how organized your 18 month old is!!! It's looks like you are never going to have to tell her to clean her room.

Yes, I think I would take apples over oranges too, and unfortunately we are in the same situation. Guess you just gotta make oranges outta orange juice!

We grow sand. Year-round. Never out of season. Wanna trade?

I am not a lover of oranges, or anything orange tasting...give me a honey crisp apple anyday!

Oh, and to answer your question on my blog...yes, I'm totally a Friends fan!
