Sweet Express Package;

We received sweet oranges from my cousin who started to grow oranges last spring. 
                   Here is (link to my former post about him).
He kindly sent us one of the Citrus called "Siranuhi" (as citrus cultivar).  
We call it "Decopon デコポン” (as proprietary product name).  
I hope I'm writing correctly.
The package was a total surprise and the delivery man smiled seeing my happy face.  This kind is rather expensive compared to the ones we normally have. 



Just showing off this sweet gift  (*^_^*) 
We have different sour type called "daidai" with the same size 
but this one is really sweet kind. 
And wondered if you ever seen this kind; wish I could let you taste this.

First Harvest of Oranges♪

My cousin, who has worked for an IT company, had had a desire to involve agriculturally-related job. This March he has made a drastic change of living to grow oranges under the "agricultural support project for youth" run by Japanese government. (hope my English makes sense p;)  He took one year introduction course at agricultural college to prepare for his new life.  Considering the current situation that young people are leaving farming family, I  really admire his ambition.
We went to have a share of his first harvest. He is my late mother's younger brother's son; we picked our aunt along the way. We enjoyed cutting some dozens oranges; well, we had asked him to prepare about 10 boxes in advance for neighbors and friends(*^_^*)

Linking this post "Our world Tuesday" later.
I still have thoughtful sudden visitors reading the cards which specialized in mourning.
Wishing you started (will start) a wonderful new week.
