JULY 31, 26.. AVOCADOS..
Patti and I “Made A Deal”.
We had two choices of NATIONAL TODAY HOLIDAYS.. Patti picked Avocados and I picked .. Taa Daa .. Jelly Beans.
So here goes Patti: When I was growing up, our home was on a very large lot, trees I could climb in the front yard and 14 fruit trees, a very large garden, as well as rabbits, laying hens, and turkeys in the back yard.
We had two avocado trees because we all LOVED avocados and kept up with and used their bounty. We had avocados just about every night with dinner. Rather than all the fancy things that are done with avocados, we generally just took out the pit and ate the avocado with a spoon out of the shell. Actually, we also often cut them up into the fresh salads that were a nightly part of our dinner.
To this day, I LOVE avocados!! However, we seldom buy them because they are so expensive in the grocery stores, but, occasionally I indulge myself!!
This is interesting. Are Avocados vegetables or are they fruits?
Botanically speaking, an avocado is considered a fruit, specifically a single-seeded berry.
National Avocado Day celebrates the beloved, nutrient-packed avocado every July 31st.
This superfood brings healthy fats, vitamins, and a creamy texture to countless dishes. Whip up some fresh guacamole, add slices to your toast, or experiment with new avocado-based recipes.

A fine memory of Grant and Shirley Fritz:
We were in Hawaii, and went to some acreage that friends had bought. The land used to be an avocado ranch, with many varieties of the fruit growing there.
Shirley loved avocados, and she would pick, or pick up a fallen avocado, peel back the skin and take a bite. If not to her liking, she would drop it and try another. “Avocado rich,” I thought as I watched her. Truly, there were so many avocados growing there and not being harvested that the ones she disposed of were but a minimal fraction of the total.
Grant was The Hill Chief up at Alyeska! Our Avocado Trees when I was growing up had identical tasting fruit! No differences. Odd that Shirley had one bite of a certain variety and spit it out! Thanks for such a great comment Gullible. Patti
