Is That a Lemon in Your Pocket?



No...just in our backyard! Seems our dwarf-like Ponderosa lemon tree is celebrating Fall. The huge grapefruit-sized lemons are slowly going from lime-green to lemon-yellow. I can't wait for Granny to come in January to make her lemon pie. In the mean time, I'll pluck the first one so I can start making lemon ice cubes. They're great for floating in a tall glass of water or melting into a cup of hot tea. I also toss them into a chicken soup base, or in the frying pan with a piece of chicken or fish! Yummy. Thank you, Mother Nature!
