We had an avocado tree in my back yard when I was 3 or 4. I remember playing "golf" with them and a putter from somewhere. One of my few memories from that age. I don't remember eating them, though.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Ohhhh...lemon trees are the bomb diggity. I think they are more manageable than an avocado tree.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Man, Judge Judy is possibly the best sitcom ever.

I need to plant my latest avocado sprout. Someday I hope to have fruit off of these things.
Lime trees are also nice, Lee. I'm trying to think of something I could trade you lemons for, though mine are not Meyers.

... and apparently it was "a tough afternoon" for my folks.
I feel so bad for my mom. She must be so terrified and unhappy, even though there's little reason to be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As an eater, not a grower, I was going to ask about lime and avocado!

I thought they were laid by the avocado birds.

I guess I imagined something more like a pineapple plant. I mean, I've sprouted an avocado seed, but as far as that got it never really made me think "this will be a tree."

They take a long time to grow, avocados. The ones in my greenhouse are at least two years old and still about knee-high.

Oh dear lord, we're doing a Secret Santa exchange this year. $20, nothing lewd, no makeup, no bath items, no blue law infractions (there goes my idea for booze). There's nine of us, all women but for one gay man who didn't recognize the Beach Boys and declared (I kid you not) Judy Garland his absolute reference for music. Four of us lady folk are crunchy, three of us are sophisticated, and one of us dresses like Lady Gaga for parties (yet is otherwise white suburbia).
I can handle the twenty bucks, but something that isn't a joke and can be compatible with several folks? And yet inspire laughter?
I've already dropped almost fifty on personal coworker gifts that mean something personally.
But I was "the last holdout" and I didn't want to be the grinch.
But, wtf?
I'm gonna buy a hunk of meat. There's only one vegetarian . . .
