Think Orange

So, they claim there is no word in English that rhymes with 'orange'. I'm not too sure that is really the case, but I don't really care at this point. I'm just excited about being able to photograph and talk about this colorful fruit. You see, 'white' everywhere I look is getting a bit boring. A couple, who every year attend our Christmas day festivities, always brings along a box of clementines, that we work our way through in January. Now, pretty much since they moved to Florida, Elenka's mom and dad have sent along a little taste of the South in the form of a box of big oranges and grapefruit. Both of these southern treats provide a little bit of extra sunshine to a Maine winter. 
So, I say, forget about rhyming word searchers today.
I'm putting a couple of these in my pocket, as I head out the door this morning.
I'm gonna let their juices run down my chin.
We can use all the extra sunshine we can foster today.
It's 4° right now. 
I'm grasping here.

  6. No white around here. But plenty of oranges and lemons everywhere, in every tree, we got forests of them, and this is the season for that!
