Sometimes I just miss being in fourth grade. My afternoon started out simple enough with me photographing all the citrus on my table and the next thing you know I’m googling the relative size of the planets to make my very own solar system out of citrus.
You really can not imagine how torn I was over what to do with poor Pluto. I grew up with Pluto as a planet and I just couldn’t leave it out. But I couldn’t deny the fact that it has been relegated to the commoner life of a lowly dwarf planet. So in an effort to acknowledge this disconcerting fact, Pluto is present but just as a blueberry. Sad, sad times.
*I would also like credit for the great restraint required to not make any Uranus jokes.

I really like you, Fruit maven!
Thanks Sophie!!! I love love love that you are here.
So clever and beautifully amazing. God has given us such a variety of everything and is pleased we appreciate all the details he has lovingly placed within everything. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Mary! I do think the fruit world is full of some crazy fun details!
This is fabulous!
It’s the tastiest-looking Solar System I’ve ever seen! Quite sure the ISS crew would like to have that selection on board. Sadly, we need to grow some larger examples for the gas giants: the Pummelo etc. just don’t show how much larger than Earth Jupiter & co. really are; a watermelon wouldn’t even be big enough. There’s a challenge for you 🙂
