Lemon tree

We have a Shaker lemon tree in our sun room. It was outside this summer and the squirrels repeatedly ran off with lemons. Since it’s been inside, it’s rallied though, and we were able to pick our first lemon last week. It is nice, amid all this snow and ice, to have something blooming in our midst. It makes me think of Spring which is right around the corner. Right? Right?!

Lemon buds

There are several more lemons on the way. What the heck am I going to do with all these lemons?

I know, I know: lemonade.

    When my alarm went off at 6:30 this morning, there was a hint of pink in the sky, and enough light in the bedroom to pick out socks without turning on the light. Spring IS coming!
