Who'da thought?

We just recently discovered we have an orange tree in our yard! The fascinating thing is that not just a month ago I used the fruit off this very tree to make a key lime pie to take to my friend's house for Thanksgiving. I ate that key lime pie, my friend and even some of her family ate that key lime pie, Ryan ate that key lime pie, and my visiting teachee also ate that key lime pie and I received compliments all around on that pie (I don't even really like key lime pie very much but I thought that pie was pretty good). At the time, I thought I had picked all of those limes off the tree because I thought some of them were about to burst and some were even losing their bright green color for a faded yellow/orange. A few days ago we pulled into our garage with Marissa excitedly exclaiming "Mommy we have a lemon on our tree!!" Naturally, I thought she was grossly mistaken only to find this on the tree (see picture). It still took some convincing me that it was truly an orange but when Ryan cut into it and gave me a slice there was no mistaking it. I guess what I really made was a "key orange" pie and in my book it was better than any silly key lime pie anyway!
