Fresh fruits

I love the way fruit trees are so plentiful around every street corner here. Every home seems to have a mango lemon or orange tree in their yard. Living in Chicago and Beijing have given me a huge appreciation for planting fruits, veggies and herbs in one's own backyard and eating the juicy tasty produce for free! God's gift to mankind in the purest sense - sun, soil and water. 

I picked some oranges off of the orange tree in our yard. Biting into it, I swear I've never tasted any orange juicier. Juices flowed all over my fingers and squirted all over my hands and clothes. Also tasted different, sort of like a tangy woody tangerine.
