The St Lawrence Seaway opened earlier this week, so you would think that spring might be on its way.
But no......it is below freezing , the wind is howling and there is a fresh layer of icy snow..
So, I dug up these photos, from my trip to the Northland of NZ couple of months ago , of Kerikeri oranges.
They may be pock marked, pitted, bruised, spotty and bashed up,
but, quite frankly they are the best oranges I have ever eaten.
Bar none.
Back to textiles next week.
Oranges are probably my favourite fruit. We eat a ton of clementines over the winter, along with full-size oranges too. Love the fruit - hate the juice (weird).
ReplyDeleteabsolutely weird.....
DeleteThey look lovely ... after they've been opened!

It's a shame that this is just the sort of fruit the supermarkets would discard as too 'unattractive'.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely right. We have a charitable ( I think ) group here that specializes in picking up seconds of fruit and veg from farmers. Every autumn my neighbor and I split a 50lb sack of #2 carrots from a farmers shop I pass on the way to the cabin......$5.
