Save the Oranges!

Remember when I wrote a post about two months ago on our orange tree that had started to have some orange oranges? If you don't remember this, take a look here. Well, my family started recently to eat the fruit off the tree, but I am here to tell you: save the fruit!

Haha. I in particular do not like oranges. They are usually too stringy or seedy for me,  so we came up with a solution to get some vitamin C in me! We started
gathering some of fruit the up and made some orange juice. Yum! Well, I did not help actually. Mom did all the work and even took the photos for me. ( I think I was taking some tests that day, but I wanted to do a blog post to finish up the oranges.) Thanks, Momma! She brought out the fruit juicer we got a few years ago and started juicing.

 In all, she used 36 oranges. This is all that was left after she finished juicing them. ( The juicer has a strainer so the pulp and seeds were caught.)

These 36 oranges gave us a grand total of 1/2 gallon of orange juice! It was delicious, but ran out fast.

A lot of work for so little juice, but it was worth it to me. ;)

    Definitely a lot of work, but quite the sweet treat! And every year that tree produces more and more fruit, so next year should be even better!

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with snow.    My little horse must think it queer
