The last of the winter lemons

April 19, 2020April 19, 2020 ~ M Ress ~ 1 Comment

Don't worry- there's more to come. The Meyer lemon tree in the backyard does what it wants. It grows lemons year round, but like most citrus gets extra happy in winter. We've been picking them as they ripen, but a few days ago mom noticed some very nice specimens indeed in the center of the … Continue reading The last of the winter lemons

I used to paint and draw a lot. I was one of those kids who doodled on every piece of homework I turned in. My parents encouraged me- but pretty much no one else did, so I stopped drawing and painting and started writing- something I'm much better at honestly.
