A Home in the Grove by Weezilou

A Home in the Grove

Our s-i-l, John, is the Music Director at a private boarding school, so the housing is provided for the faculty families. Here, their home is one of the older ones (1940s), built in the center of a 16-acre avocado grove! The caveat is that the school owns the grove, so "no picking", but they can take any that fall to the ground. One day when we stayed here, Ken went walking and came back with 30 avocados that had fallen, which only means they're ripe and ready to eat! We all think this is an amazing location to call home!
Looks beautiful. I love avocado.

Loved your comments about not picking the avocados. Why just yesterday I was busted by the "fruit" police at the college campus because I wanted a few tangerines. Haha! The campus has their own police department and they grow fruit trees, mostly citrus for their agricultural program. The officer eventually took the cuffs off and released me back into the wild.

Wow, I'd love to live in the middle of an avocado grove! Smashed avocado on toast every morning. Mmmm.

Fabulous place and a bonus of avocados! Love your capture. My childhood home had two avocado trees and two tangerine trees. It was wonderful! Fav.

I needed to pick more Meyer lemons off our tree due to the wind knocking them off. I got a huge bowl filled of goodness. Now what to make, bake or do with them.
