Last, week, Aaron began pruning the molokita (a sour orange) close
to our
house. He was trying to eradicate all possible sources of entry to
our roof
since we've discovered two rates in the last few days (and one more
trying
to get in during the night). Keeping the branches away from the
house also
helps cut down on the leaves that get trapped on top of the water
tanks.
So, he hacked away at the branches while the kids gathered over a
hundred
molokita. We had plenty to share, with enough left over to make
into juice
since they were all still green. I put the jug into the freezer to
chill it
quickly, but then I forgot to take it out until the next day when we
discovered that molokita slushy is quite nice! It's been fun to
share our
treat with the house girls after we've been working out in the sun.
