From my window I saw the Satsuma.

 

Satsuma is a Japanese seedless mandarin.
Some years ago, I bought a 1 gallon Satsuma tree.
Though rangy, the tree is now six feet tall.

Satsuma are ready to pick just before the holidays.

My tree is a bit scraggly.  I forget to feed it.

It bravely produces delicious fruit, despite it's owner.

See, it's not lush like it could be.

I plan to do a better job this year.

And then there's the bells.  I love bells.

They say bells keep away evil spirits. You knew that, right?

I have so many, I protect the whole neighborhood.

Whether they want it or not.

A smile for Monday ...
