Satsuma...

My mother's father grew in his back yard in Starks, Louisiana, two Satsuma Orange trees. My memory of picking and eating fresh oranges is a great memory.  A Satsuma Orange is a lot like a tangerine.  No seeds and very easy to peel.  The meat of the orange is juicy and sweet and delicious.

The other day while grocery shopping at Walmart, I found bags of little oranges and the bag said 'Satsuma'.  I picked up a bag for eating enjoyment.  

Everyday I have enjoyed two of these little gems.  They are just yummy and I think of the old home place in the country, my mother's parents enjoying us little ones playing. So much goodness bundled in a juicy piece of fruit.  I love the good moments in life.
