Grapefruit Harvest

It has been warmer than usual this year.
I dislike it.
This Fall has been so busy,
and the weather warm,
it doesn't seem like Christmas at all.
The warm weather made my grapefruits ripen slowwwwwwly.
I waited very impatiently until the last minute to pick them so we could give them away as Christmas goodies!!
 
Our tree had ample water, warmth, and sun this year.
So it produced 5 times the amount of grapefruits this year!!
I will eat grapefruits A LOT this spring.
If I'm shot, a splatter of grapefruit juice will need to be cleaned up in place of hemoglobin.
 
Picking and fighting the thorny tree.
Kato is the ever present helper.
 
 My daughters with their bounty.

 
We have A LOT of grapefruits!!
