I love Avocados

I love them so much I think I could eat them every day and never get tired of them.  "So what, who cares..." 

But really, they are yummy, and so is our new exterior paint color!  It turned out better than I imagined, and I think Jim is really happy with it too.  Let me know whatcha think!

On a side note:

Did You Know?

• An avocado is a fruit and not a vegetable! It is actually a member of the berry family.

• In the past, the avocado had a well-entrenched reputation for inducing sexual prowess and wasn't purchased or consumed by any person wishing to protect their image from slanderous assault. Growers had to sponsor a public relations campaign to dispel the ill-founded reputation before avocados became popular.

• Avocados got their name from the Spanish explorers. They couldn't pronounce the Aztec word for the fruit, know as ahuacatl, "testicle," because of its shape. The Spanish called the aguacate, leading to the guacamole we know today.

• Avocados must reach full maturity before they are picked, however, they do not soften on the tree. The tree can actually be used as a storage unit by keeping the fruit on the tree for many months after maturing.--- very interesting!
