While driving around doing errands yesterday, I started to ponder the subject for today's post. Over the past month I've had plenty of blogworthy material. With all the travel I've done lately, I realized that its been awhile since I wrote about home-sweet-home. When I reached the grocery store to pick up a few odds and ends, I saw a display of "local produce", which served as inspiration for this week's scintillating edition of The Saturday Seven: Things Produced in Palm Springs* (*and surrounding communities). So here they are, in no particular order....
above: #1 Lemons- They are probably the most plentiful fruit tree in the area, and sold to markets across the country.
above: #2 Dates- I've written about our dates before, I just love them, and they are so good for you too.
above: #3 Grapefruit-Another plentiful fruit. It's nice to be able to go outside in the morning and pick a fresh grapefruit from the tree for breakfast. (Orange and lime trees can also be found in the Palm Springs area too).
above: #4 Prickly Pear Cactus- a common cactus that produces an uncommon flavor, used to make candy.
above: #5 Pistachios-So delicious, so addictive, and so plentiful too.
above: #6 Gamblers-Speaking of addictive, Palm Springs has several Indian Casinos, which produce their share of gamblers....
above: #7 Wind Power- We have thousands of Wind Turbines, which produce a tremendous amount of wind power which we convert into electricity to use and export too.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you found this interesting.
