Summertime in Fort Lauderdale Part 5



I
have lived in this apartment for 7 and a half years and have taken (and
posted) dozens of pictures of the trees behind my apartment from the
walkway/balcony. It wasn't until today, and only because I had written a
'reprimand' to John for not showing up at the 'meeting of the mindless'
on the breezeway a couple of evenings having seen him the night before
in the smoking area (he doesn't smoke) with my neighbors, behind my
building, and he told me about the avocados!
Look at that tree and how loaded it is!



I could almost reach out and grab a few avocados from my windows and I didn't see them! Well either did most of you!

    

It
seems that every day brings  more riches into my life from living where
I do, living how I do and the avocados are just a symbol of those
riches. People wonder why I am so positive and feel I have it made when I
get up in the morning and between the doctor's reports, Jill being so
kind lending me her car, I am a happy, health, wealthy man!

Hope your summer is going as great as mine is!


Come on down and get YOUR avocado!

I make a great guacamole--worked in a Mexican restaurant for 3 years and made it table side--come on down! I will charge you one poem!

Avocados rank right up there as a most healthy food--something about the oils. Personally, I never liked them. Are these free for the picking?

As good a food as they may be they are high in calories. Yes, we have already taken 150 (!) off the tree--just can't reach those on the top though we took a 12 foot ladder and made a 6 foot pole!
