Drove up by the school looking for something interesting to snap a photo of - Was actually looking for Christmasy Stuff and ran across a group of Students sorting out some Florida Oranges.  For those of you who have kids in school, I am sure you know what this is all about, however, for those of us that don't, I have to make the assumption that one of the groups has a fundraiser going on, and this is it.  The temperature was hovering right around freezing when I took this photo and our very clear Vermont Sky was visible overhead.

Oh Man!  Wish I had known about this, I would have so bought some!!  We used to do this fundraiser for Band when I was growning up!  The oranges are delicious!
