Tuesdays are Village Harvest days, at least the San Jos\u00c3\u00a9 team that’s my usual posse. Heather, aka La Jefe<\/i>, has been doing a sterling job of scheduling fruit that is not grapefruit, and we had two lemon trees today. One was in the backyard of a townhouse in one of those little pocket developments that have no parking.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The backyard was pretty weensy, too; we were getting in each others’ way. Nice lemons, though. We went on to another house, which we’ve picked before, but is now a vacant rental.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There’s a nice cherry tree in this yard, too; maybe we’ll get to pick it in a few weeks. We never get to pick cherries. This orange tree was really tall, so I went up a ladder for a while, since pole-picking eventually makes my neck hurt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This house was just around the corner from Falafel Drive-In<\/a> (not a very useful link, I’m afraid) which some of our team members had, astonishingly, never heard of. Since we had so many volunteers again today, I snuck off a few minutes early and ordered three dozen falafel balls (and a banana milkshake, but I slurped that up pretty quickly.) The next house was strange, wrinkly lemons. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I loaded up the crates in my car. I always take fruit to Martha’s Kitchen<\/a>, in Willow Glen. But I later swapped some out for oranges. Lemons are very popular, but Martha’s Kitchen prefers fruit that they can serve fresh with their meals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finally, we enjoyed our snacks, featuring the falafel balls. Mmmm..falafel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
