Our fall flew past in a blur of orange leaves and orange persimmon pulp. Winter's rains (27.88" to date) have brought us bumper crops of citrus. We harvested two cases of Hayward Kiwis and the season's first case of Meyer Lemons for the Penny today. Our mandarin harvest begins next week with the Owari Satsumas.
We also picked up a half dozen, downy yellow, day-old Pekin ducklings from Metzer Farms this afternoon. The sounds of their sweet 'peeps', pecks and fluttering are filling our living room as I type. It's hard to believe these tiny balls of fuzz will be laying large, white eggs by Summer Solstice!
Wishing everyone a Bountiful and Blissful 2013!
