Today my aunt asked my sister and me to help her pick oranges. Firstly, I was so excited when I heard the news , because it was the first time for me to experience the fun of picking oranges.No doubt when I saw there were many oranges on the trees, you can't image how happy I was at that moment. until now I realise it is so important for us to be close to nature.perhaps, most of you were birth in big cities and never had a chance to do that, What a pity ah!
No matter where you are birth or where you live in now. It doesn't matter but the most important you should do right now is taking steps to enjoy the beauty of nature. And I can guarantee you that when you get through it you would truly love it and understand why you are live in the world. Just try to do it once.
The oranges are so amazing, many of them are so big and they tast sweet. nonethless, something I really dislike to tell you, In the end I had to carry a bag of oranges on my shoulder and at that moment I didn't feel good any more.It's so pitiful.

I live in Florida, in the United States, and citrus is our biggest agricultural crop. I grew up surrounded by orange groves, and as a child I would always pick oranges off the trees and eat them!

@LLSummer Yes! It is a wonderful time to be outdoors picking oranges! I also like the spring time, when the blossoms are on the orange trees! The sweet fragrance from the blossoms makes me feel like I am in heaven!

We have a dwarf orange tree in our front entryway. :) It is starting to grow oranges again. :) I hope that you are able to enjoy the ones that you got. :)
