The Lemon Life


Life gave me lemons...just look at them.
Aren't they wonderful?


 Even though they appear to be oranges,
the Meyer lemon is a special treat during the cold months of winter.


It's so cheerful in the house.


I love the smell of the blossoms.


 The lemons are ready to pick.


You may remember that Bruce enjoys eating citrus trees,
so we'll keep our fingers crossed that this one survives.


I have recipes planned for these beauties...
and some hot lemonade to sip by the fire.
Hope you enjoy your weekend!

  1. my, they look wonderful and healthy!

    i'm sipping my nightly hot green tea w/ two lemons squeezed into it. unfortunately, i pay $3.99 for a bag of about 6 or 7 lemons... i need a lemon tree... or an orchard...

  2. Color me envious!

    I love fruit trees. I love things that are alive, especially at this time of the year here.

    Is this from outside and you moved it in for the winter or did you recently buy this?

    I need one.

    Okay, maybe "want" is the operative word here.

    I'll go and have a glass of country time here as a lame second...

  7. Lucky you to have those fresh lemons growing right inside your house! What a pretty sight with the fire burning in the background.

  8. Jealous doesn't even cut it as a word to describe how I feel. I had a tree 4 years ago I received on Mothers Day. It lasted with me 3 years before I left the precious little doll outside a few days too long in the cold. It never recovered.

  9. What a lovely idea having a lemon tree in your house. Life is a wonderful place with lemons to grab whenever you want them. Thanks for sharing at Simple & Sweet Fridays.

  15. We go through lemons like crazy and cannot get a darn tree to grow here! At our old house we had a tree and could not use up the lemons quick enough and here we don't have a single one. Your photos are beautiful. I love decorating with bowls of lemons all over - little bits of sunshine!
