Almonds grow on trees

Growing almonds are green and fuzzy, feel like hard velvet, and have a rich, savory smell. They're fun.

Turns out I'm terrible at guessing what kind of fruit trees we're driving past. It's kind of like that website, http://www.alllooksame.com/, where you try to guess whether the asian person is Chinese, Korean, or Japanese, and I score waaaaay less than 50 percent. If I think it's an orange tree, it's guaranteed to be a nut tree of some sort (Nuts grow on trees! In weird, pettable pods! Who knew?).
This trip in Fresno has been much more manageable. At least I wasn't forced to eat at an arcade! And I've discovered Cold Stone Creamery! Uncomfortably full, sugary bliss...
