We absolutely love our new backyard and spending time playing out there with Lilly. We don't currently have a patio covering but instead we are using a tailgating tent to provide some shade during the hotter parts of the day. During the evenings it is absolutely perfect because the sun sets on the other side of the house and a nice breeze goes through the backyard. This is great for me because I hate being outside when it is hot. Now during the evenings I can actually stand it and both Matias and I can play with Lilly out there.

To everyone that has seen our backyard and were trying to tell the difference between the different trees we have, we have finally figured them all out. Most were guessing that three of the trees were either lemon or lime trees....well guess what? Y'all were all wrong because they are orange trees! I was so excited to find a ripe orange today and get to try it. Of course I was expecting the sweet taste of oranges that you try at the grocery store and was very surprised when I tasted something very sour and tangy. Matias says these oranges are good for scents or jelly/jam. Now can someone actually teach me how to do this, so I can at least put them to good use.

Besides the orange trees we also have two fig trees (can someone tell me what good these are) and several rose bushes. The garden area close to the house has several aloe vera plants and a rosemary bush, which I have already used for cooking. I absolutely love our new backyard!
