juicy juice

Here is J kindly removing fruit from his Grandma's (neighbor's) tree.   

 I helped too.

But really, who can compete with this guy?  Look at his technique.

hahahaha! hilarious! 

Our loot.  Obviously this all didn't come from that one tree.  Especially since we gathered a fine collection of oranges and grapefruits, and that would be weird if they came from the same tree.  

Oh no.  We're good.  We got all the neighbors.  

Look at the size of that thing! They're FANTASTIC!!  

I've been eating a TON of the grapefruits, but the majority of our treasures get turned into delish liquid gold:

**I am happy and proud to say it's been over two weeks since we picked these all, and only 3 or 4 have gone bad.  We destroyed these suckers in a very timely manner. 

**I also want to say that it is late in the fruit season, and supposedly people are sick of their fruit/not picking their fruit off their trees anymore, so I felt no guilt picking all these.  Also, people have a million citrus trees in Mesa, and we didn't know how to use his grandma's "fruit picker" so we only got the reachable ones.
