Three years ago - we planted 4 tiny fruit trees that we bought at Lowes. They barely came up to your waist. We have been lucky - they have bore fruit each year so far.
Today Lulu picked one piece of fruit off each tree. The trees are arranged in a square - lemon - orange - grapefruit - tangerine.
The bright yellow lemons are very big - I have a slice in my tea every morning. I am not picky with food details - but lemon in my tea is something I like - so Lulu makes fun of me for it.
Next to the lemon is an orange. The oranges are very sweet.
The giant grapefruit in the back is pink. Again - they are very juicy.
Finally - the tangerines are sweet and plump.
Up north - we could not grow a thing. Down here - everything grows. There is nothing quite like going out in the morning - grabbing the newspaper - then picking a lemon for our tea. It is a simple life - with simple pleasures. Life has loveliness to sell.
Now - on Saturday the Seminole must go down to Hogtown and play the Gators. If the Seminoles lose - it will be our first losing season in 40 years. That is a bitter lemon no one in Tallahassee wants to taste.
