My Citrus Trees are Blooming

Word of the Day

Perpetraitor - One who chronically betrays the cause, often feeling responsible for the cause and/or the betrayal.

I'm beginning to notice the smell (perfume) of citrus blossoms in the air. My trees are just starting to bloom. It looks like we're going to get a good crop of blossoms this year. This doesn't necessarily translate into a good crop of citrus. I did get more tangelos this year than ever before...as well as grapefruit, lemons, and limes...but I've learned that you should never count your chickens before they're hatched. Murphy's Law prevails 90% of the time. Eggs don't always hatch, the sun won't always burn off those grey clouds, and citrus blossoms don't always become fruit....oh...and if wishes were horses, poor men would ride.

Noteworthy Quote of the Day

The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

- Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004)
