The lemon tree, on the other hand, is just about there. It has been tempting us with its luscious fruit for months now, its branches laden with more lemons than it could seemingly support. But they have been green all this time. And now the first and biggest one has turned a sunny yellow (check out the lemon at the bottom of the tree, in line with the trunk). I'll be picking it soon.
And then the dozens of others will turn yellow all at once. The kids will try to become multi-millionaires by hawking lemonade to passers-by. And then we'll be giving the lemons away to friends and neighbors because you can only eat so many lemon squares : )
