Ladybug Creek: Freeze on it's way -- bye-bye citrus??

I am married to the most wonderful man who I've known more years than I have not! We recently celebrated our 41 years of marriage.
Our oldest son is our business partner. We farm in Mexico, growing papaya, honeydew and person-size watermelon. We travel back and forth to Mexico to take care of our business. This son is married and has two children. He lives in Mexico to oversee the business.
Our middle son works for Clinical Pathology Lab. His wife is a doctor and recently opened her cosmetic dermatology clinic in Houston.
Our youngest son is a realtor in McAllen, Texas, near where we live. He loves his work and his business is steadily growing.
We lived in Mexico for three years to get our farming operation going. It was an exciting time for us!
My hobbies are genealogy, home decorating and cooking. I love blogging!
I am so very blessed to have a loving family... not only the family my husband and I created, but also my family of friends.
Fall and winter months are when I enjoy blogging the most. Seasons change and I love keeping up with the change in my home.
I have had some amazing experiences with my faith in Christ and I truly feel that God is always with me. I try to live my life the way God would have me live it.

Freeze on it's way -- bye-bye citrus??

The citrus in my backyard may be here today, but gone tomorrow. We call it our "organic" crop... and that is because it is totally forgotten... year 'round. Occasionally we'll remember we have it and my husband will bring in a few pieces of fruit to snack on. I'm just not a big citrus eater... unless it's the tangerines. I just do hate to see this fruit threatened by this probable freeze. We'll see....

Anita@Theycallmejammi said...: Those oranges look delicious...they are so large and yummy looking. I'm thinking a big glass of frosty orange juice right now with lots of pulp. Keep your head down tonight and snuggle under the cover....maybe it won't freeze everything.; January 7, 2010 at 5:57 PM
Shabby Cottage Shoppe said...: The oranges look just wonderful...I sure hope they didn't freeze. The news reported a lot of citrus fruit had been damaged by freezing temperatures in FL. They also reported we would see a cost increase on citrus fruit in about three weeks...great!

John left the ones at the top of the tree that we couldn't reach.

We just gave up!
