Well it may be December with frosty mornings, but our harvest still continues!
We still have gorgeous roses blooming - and John even picked me a sweet pea this morning - and it still has it's amazing perfume as though it were the middle of summer!
Winter is a wonderful time here - just when you expect everything to die back, we get rain after months and months without any - and so some things seem to just come to life! All the grass goes from gold to green - and the hills look so lush again.
We still have quite a few flowers out - especially the roses.....
And now we are harvesting persimmons, mandarin satsumas, limes, lemons,.....just had a grapefruit for my breakfast, picked fresh off the tree......
The oranges are not quite ready yet - but we can wait :=D
What a bountiful place we live in. Santa will be able to pick up some healthy snacks for himself and the reindeer when they call by tomorrow night......
