There is one thing about spring in Arizona that we really appreciate. Citrus. We planted a lemon, grapefruit, and orange tree when we first moved here. The lemons are ready in January and February. Fresh off the trees we use them to make juice. My favorite is grapefruit although homemade lemonade is also a real treat.
All the fruit has to be picked by the middle of February at the first sign of buds. Right now, we have blossoms on all the trees. The whole yard smells like orange blossoms. It is a simple pleasure of Arizona. I will miss this one thing very much if we ever move out of Arizona.
