Out of lemon flowers
loosed
on the moonlight, love's
lashed and insatiable
essences,
sodden with fragrance,
the lemon tree's yellow
emerges,
the lemons
move down
from the tree's planetarium
Thankyou Pablo Neruda.
We are slowly being buried alive with lemons - what with both our trees sagging under the weight of the BUMPER crop at the moment (must be those coffee grounds) there are lemons EVERYWHERE!! We have taken to giving bagfuls away at school, to the neighbours, friends - whomever wants them. We have feasted on lemon meringue pies, lemon delicious puddings, lemon cordial, lemon curd, and have cleaned with home-made lemon based cleaning products, and anyone in the family suffering from coughs and colds at the moment have been force-fed a honey and lemon and apple-cider vinegar concoction. Any new fresh ideas for lemons greatly appreciated!!!
