We Have Fruit!



Our trees are finally big enough grow fruit! This is a big deal for us(It doesn't take much to excite the Coates family). Our family has followed the market here in Arizona. Here is the pattern...we buy a house, Warren plants fruit trees, we move to a bigger house before the trees are big enough to bare fruit. Poor Warren. Congratulations baby! We have finally lived in a house long enough for our fruit to grow. Warren's lemon, grapefruit, orange, and pomegranite trees are growing strong this year!

I have such fond memories of playing underneath the enormous grapefruit tree behind grandpa and gramma's green house. If you are a sibling or cousin you know what I am talking about. I even remember the smell of that tree. Good times!

I am so jealous you have fruit. Our trees are maybe 2-3' high and have many more years before producing. I am so excited I figured out how to write on your blog. I was looking on it for a while before I saw comments, anyways. My e-mail is kcbacon@cox.net and my phone is 623-533-5713. We are in Goodyear, AZ or the darkside as the eastside likes to say. We love it! But we do miss seeing everyone from the other side. I'm so greatful that you were able to find me. We have so much to catch up on. I will talk to you later kiddos arriving from school. Love ya, Cara
