But, it was nice to live in FL and eat free citrus every day - the trucks full of oranges on their way to the juice producers would spill their surplus at every corner they took too fast!
Ooo... soon it will be satsuma season again
I love them!
Florida has some excellent varietals of Oranges though... so my favorite one is the freshest one I can get at a farmers market... [IE- not in Alaska
