Real Lemon


I had to take one more photo of Janice's lemon to make everyone aware that what we are buying in stores are called Lemons, but they must be the rejects they pick before they have had time to grow up into the heavenly beauty that JAnice grew...right in her living -room! Check out how to grow your own...but be prepared they might grow twenty feet tall. This is a dwarf variety that Janice has.


While Silky rested outside tonight on the sidewalk, the mom and her two yearlings came on by to take a look at the white fluff ball. I had a good laugh from inside the house as I watched the mom crane her head and neck forward to see what Silky was all about... That or she ws checking to see hwat remained of my crocus. Bloomed one day,and munched off the next ,except for the odd one tucked under a bush. Must be as good as a fresh picked salad!

Silky, oblivious to the deer behind her. She wasn't in a mood to be moving much anyhow...her back end is still sore . Being the wimp she is, she trembles at the thought of pain. We know she wasn't run over! We'll haul her off to the vet if she fails to improve. So far, her vitals are still pretty good..( ie...doesn't turn down a cookie)

The new crescent moon tonight...a sliver of silver below the earthshine that reflected onto the remained of the moon. Unfortunately, my camera didn't pick that up...but you can look out side tomorrow night when the moon comes up and you can see the point of the crescent pass through the Plaiedes ( Seven Sisters) ( looks like a little tiny dipper constellation in the sky usually straight overhead or a bit to the south.) See Spaceweather.com for better instructions!
