You have orange trees, too!
And calla lilies the size of plates.

I love avocados too. They are sometimes iffy to ripen, but when you get a good one, it's perfection! I like this color chart for choosing: http://www.theamazingavocado.com/tip...g-and-storing/
My grocery only recently started carrying ripe avocados. Before, you could only find rock hard, green ones and then you had to wait five days to eat it. I always wondered what they did with the ripened fruit.

hahaha... this reminds me of the time I read about burying unripe avocados in Flour. Did I put some flour into a paper bag? no. I put the avocado directly into my big tupperware (that holds a 5lbs) and returned said tupperware to my cupboard. Four months later... when I went to bake my Christmas Pies... "What is This???" The flour ripened it alright. hahahahaha.....

ditto. Avocado sandwiches, avocado dip, avocado in salad, eat like candy! Very expensive here. I hate it when I open and it is too ripe!
