Orange tree growing nicely in a non-orange tree state. At the moment.
This lovely anomaly of a tree is about 18 years old and I don't know why.
Growing oranges where I live is not a thing.
I live in the mountains and it gets cold here, very cold.
Cold is the universal thing that tropical plants don't care for.
So I do my best to do all the planty type things that I have learned over the years to keep my orange tree alive.
It would be helpful if I could think like an orange tree.
Does it need lots of sun, water and vitamins?
Without question.
Does it need a new pot?
Of course!
Does it need MORE sun?
Certainly!
Is it making the best with what it's given?
You betcha.
But that's life.
My life.
Your life?
We are making the best with what we have despite not being in our ideal locations and we don't know why.
Not true.
Well a little bit true.
A lot of us know why we are in the place we are, but there is little else in our power that we can change.
Like the orange tree.
Just a little love and care and we can still be awesome.
Well, that and all the possibilities in the future.
Who knows in a hundred years my mountain home might be beach front property and there will be orange tree groves nearby for acres!
Thanks for being here.
Cheers...
Destiny fulfilled and it is delicious.
