Welp. It happened.
My first pea sized fruit fell off of the little lemon tree. Mentally, I was prepared for it. Just as I was about to start wallowing in the loss, I saw that one of the many flower buds was opening. This is how it’s going to be, I guess. A little sorrow and a little joy.
It’s warm outside today – mid 70s – so I took the little lemon tree outside for some warmth and sunshine. Maybe some bees will stop by and pollinate the flower. Hope springs eternal.

Ah, it’s the simple things in life that bring us joy 🙂
And I was anticipating your post about tequila, salt and your home grown lemon….I’m shattered. Now, I’ll have to anticipate something else.
Maybe you should try an avocado plant? Imagine that: guacamole from your own plant; just like my aunt used to make. Some tomatoes, onions, fresh squeezed lime, a clove of garlic, some seasoning, with the ingredients pureed in a blender and served with homemade Mexican food.
Now, I’m hungry. I have chili in the fridge.
You people have let me down. Why are you not showering me with profuse compliments about my wittiness? Are you not fans of Ben Casey? Is that show opening not playing in your head right now? How about now?
