Let there be fruit

When my mom was here, she bought plants.  Cactus, more cactus, cassia bushes, and citrus.  Because of my generous parents, I am the grateful recipient and owner of 4 citrus trees. WOW.  I don't typically buy a lot of citrus at the store, but lately grapefruit and I have become dear friends, so I'm very excited about the possibilities.  In addition, I'm not sure if there is a more lovely smell in the world than citrus blossoms...so with the warm temps here in Tucson, the blossoms have started to go crazy.  Which is splendid because in the past, I don't know if anyone could kill plants faster than myself, so blossoms and life is a wonderful turn of events.  

Above is the first piece of fruit off of one of the trees:  a Bearss Lime. The typical normal sized limes you buy at the store.  Isn't it so cute!?  I'm trying to decide what to use it for, but I think it will flavor Pellegrino today as I live life to the fullest on Spring Break.
