Timing

Today I ate a grapefruit from the tree in my backyard. The fruit has been dangling there for a few months, slowly turning a soft yellow, and though the kids picked them last week, they weren't quite ready to be eaten. Last week, I tried one, but left the rest of them sitting in a bowl in the kitchen. Today I picked another one out and ate it.

Sweet, only a little bitter, but definitely ready.

Everything in due time.
