lemons + tile

saturday was spent doing office work.

sunday was spent with lemons and tile.

the lemons needed picking and the tree needed pruning.

it was a beautiful morning to be outside. hopefully the tree doesn’t react badly to the extreme pruning.

most of the lemons look like lemons, but some have been disfigured by a winter citrus pest. from what i’ve read, the pest isn’t inside the fruit, it affects the stem as the fruit is growing and alters it’s appearance.

strange and beautiful.

lemons anyone? we’ve got 3 big boxes (of normal lemons.) we gave some to our neighbors who invited us in for short visits. one of our neighbors is rosa, she’s 96 years old, funny and feisty! we left one box of lemons on our front steps for people to help themselves. it was gone within hours.
