More about Spring in the Desert
Lemons
I'm sitting at my desk and looked up this morning to see my apricot tree beginning to bloom. That means more work, picking fresh fruit, cooking jam and sauce, fighting the birds and cleaning up the dropped fruit. It's an amazing tree, very prolific. Right beside it is my lemon tree with literally lemons hanging and blossoms for this years fruit already opening. It's a dwarf Meyer Improved lemon. We didn't get any fruit the first 3 years but since then, we get hundreds of lemons every year. It isn't possible to use them all so my husband and I pass them out to everyone we know. No one leaves without a bag of lemons. So the saying goes, when life (or your friend) gives you lemons, make lemonade.

These are all such gorgeous shots, but I think the lemons are my favourite. I'm imagining them picked and squeezed over fresh fish....drool, drool!
Say jellyhead, are you near Moss Vale? My best friend from high school lives there. She and her husband are musicians.
There's nothing like fresh lemonade. I miss the good old days of fresh fruit in California. Here in Kentucky the pickins are slim...and not all fruit trees can be grown outdoors. Great photo.
By Jove, she's getting the hang of posting pictures (and lovely ones they are). Can't wait to see pictures of your yard.
