Lemons in the Winter

I ADORE lemons! I love their color, their taste and their scent. I love how their crisp, sunny, and fresh scent lingers on your fingers after you cut them up.
I love them on seafood and a generous wedge or two in my sweet iced tea.
I also love to see them growing around town. I have not grown any yet, maybe that will be my next gardening project.

I spotted these beauties the other day and had to take a few photos.

I really really really wanted to "pick them", ha ha LOL.....but I restrained myself.

And I went to the grocery and bought us a nice bag of lemons!

I am with you....I love everything about lemons! Especially a slice in my sweet, iced tea. It seems like my grandma might have grown lemons when I was little. I've never tried it.

My daughter's Meyer lemon tree is full of fruit but it is indoors. They have no worries about anyone stealing a lemon, except for the dog who tends to swat his big tail around it.

I am trying to imagine what it is like to live somewhere warm enough for lemons to grow!
Take care and have a great weekend.

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
