Another repeat from the old blog, definitely one of my favorites. He's a beauty and was focused on catching up with his humans.
Thank you everyone who has left a comment. It is taking me much longer to read and publish than usual. Life is a bit busy again and I will answer all as soon as I can.
A story from my sister-in-law. She was chatting to a neighbor this morning, of how much she liked lemons and had just planted a small tree. A little while later she found several in a bag, waiting for her on the doorstep. What a sweet neighbor.
When we were living near Long Beach in California, back in our navy days, the house we rented had a huge lemon tree in the back garden, with the most enormous lemons. I had never seen one like it, loaded with them on every branch. The scent was intoxicating. I had only ever bought lemons in the supermarket. How I wish I had that lemon tree now, but then we had better move to warmer climes.
my aunt had one with the giant sized lemons, here where I live now. I loved them. one lemon could make a whole pitcher of lemonade. truly a nice neighbor to leave them for her. I LOVE THAT DOG.. he is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteAmazing Sandra, that one lemon could make so much lemonade. A nice neighbor yes and I would love that dog too.
DeleteHello, I love the cute dog. I would like a lemon tree too. Enjoy your day and the week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI agree on both counts Eileen, and the same to you :)
DeleteHi Denise, what a lovely dog he looks as if he's just plodding along the beach and minding his own business. I didn't realise that Gregg was a Navy man, sorry. All the best John
ReplyDeleteHi John, this cute dog made me smile and I was so happy to get a photo of him before he disappeared out of sight, a good memory of his noble little body plodding down the beach. No apologies needed, I don't mention the old navy days too often. Seems like another lifetime ago now :) All the best to you too, Denise.
DeleteYes, that photograph is a winner! Lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteLemons are great for adding that little something extra in cooking too!
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan, I like to cook with lemons too. All the best, Denise
DeleteWouldn't it be awesome to have a lemon tree? Just recently, I tried Meyer Lemons for the first time, they are yummy. I am putting them in entrees, and pancakes and waffles. I LOVE this picture! He is adorable.
ReplyDeleteIt would, I would love it. I can't remember seeing Meyer's lemons labeled around here. Maybe I ought to pay extra special attention. Thanks Ginny.
DeleteSometimes life gets in the way of blogging. Take your time.
ReplyDeleteLemons are intoxicating when fresh aren't they?
Thank you LC, and they certainly are.
DeleteSuch a cute pup!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is :)
DeleteSweet dog...and what a nice neighbor your sister-in-law has! I cannot imagine smelling lemons on the tree....
ReplyDeleteYes and yes :) and yes, a lovely neighbor Rose :)
DeleteYou're not the only one in a busy period.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt Red :)
DeleteLovely lemons, and what a sweet neighbour! And I love your first photo...so calming!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda :)
DeleteYou are a busy lady. I am reminded of the old saying 'So much to do, so little time'. Gone are the days when I had fruit trees in the garden. I do have a couple of apple trees but they are past their best and the fruit is only fit for birds.
ReplyDeleteIt's all or nothing Valerie :) My sister used to have plum trees in her back garden. I'm sure your birds love the apples :)
DeleteLindo um belo cão.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de boa semana.

DeleteWhat a sweet looking dog, nice capture of him having a stroll on the beach.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marleen.
DeleteWarmer climates are nice...but not TOO hot!
ReplyDeleteAgreed :)
DeleteWhat a cutie that dog is!!!
ReplyDeleteBut "naughty" humans, for going too fast for him!!! -smile-
Enjoy the Siren Call of Spring!!!

Yes, he was having a hard time catching up but they were leaving him to all those wonderful smells on the beach, which I am sure kept him behind his humans. One way of hurrying him up I suppose :) We had heavy rain, high winds and hail today but thank goodness the sun is shining. Hopefully a good omen :)
Deletei love lemons too!! i love to cook with them and there is nothing better than homemade lemonade in summer!!!
ReplyDeleteOooooo, I'll be right on over for a nice cold glass of lemonade:)
DeleteSpring works too if it gets hot enough :)))
DeleteI would love a lemon tree in my backyard as well. Yes, a squeeze in my favorite tea would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a cutie pie that dude walking by the beach is.
Thank you Lux G, and that sounds good.
Deletewonderful happy this image!
ReplyDeleteNice Day
Thank you geistige_Schritte, and a nice day to you also :)
DeleteI had to leave my small potted lemon tree behind when we moved! It had been attacked by caterpillars every year and was barely making it, but I had ALWAYS wanted a lemon tree! Now, I suppose if I kept one in a greenhouse I might have one again. So many people in Tucson had huge ones in their yards...someone was harvesting as we stopped on the road to make a comment one day and they gave us seven or eight!
ReplyDeleteAwww, too bad you had to leave it but it probably wouldn't have survived replanting? How very nice to be given those harvested lemons, people can be so kind.
DeleteThat's a sweet photo of the dog. My husband's late parents lived in FL and had lemon trees. They would share with us and we enjoyed them so much.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
Thank you Mildred and how lovely that your parents had lemon trees. Have a nice weekend also :)
DeleteHi Denise, I have 2 lemon trees grown from seeds and they have not flower yet. Recently I bought one from the nursery and hope it will grow and fruit.
ReplyDeleteI just found your comment Nancy. I am very sorry for this late reply. I hope your lemon trees bloomed and provided you with their fruit. Thank you and I hope all goes well with you.
