A mini-Meyer lemon tree is actually on my Xmas list!!
Emmett's tree ("Jerry, the Good Tree") is still producing lemons.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh, I want a lemon tree.
I also want to have woken up when I meant to and to have already started the Day of Apple Butter.

Because books.
Day of Apple Butter
Oh, yum. One of the things I miss most about my great aunt Alice (my grandmother's sister) is the things she (and her mother, my great-grandmother) made. Apple butter, coleslaw, all kinds of canned vegetables and jellies. Most of it on a wood stove for years, too.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Phew!
The buzzer just went off for the front door. I wasn't expecting anyone, but looked at the time and realized that it's the usual time when my dad arrives when he comes to visit. I took the elevator down, racking my brain to try and remember if Dad and I had talked about him coming today, because if we had, I'd forgotten and my apartment is a mess!
Turns out it was an Amazon delivery, which I didn't know they did on Sundays. Cool!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I got more lawn bags. By the time I got home, you could no longer tell that I had filled the two lawn bags I had left before running out.
Just hand me a rock and call me Sisyphus.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At least the leaves really do have an end? Eventually....
Bathroom is clean (enough), lunch has been eaten. Next, put in the laundry, get in the shower, and maybe a little shopping while it dries.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have a dwarf meyer but it didn't produce anything yet. My dwarf key lime started fruiting recently, though. Dwarf peach is sad.
So like everyone else with cats mine woke us up at their normal time (6:30 PST) -- Avon on my stomach and KK insistently kneading my chest. I can sleep through them breakfast-begging but Bob typically can't, so he gets up to feed them. I told him, "feed them at 6:45" so that over the course of 3 days I can get them back to a 7:30 feeding time. He thought the clocks were wrong and we were supposed to spring forward -- so he fed them at 8:30, after listening to their increasingly unhinged meows for two hours! (I just slept through all of it.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I've come across a few interesting websites this week, wanted to share:
Some pics from a sculpture exhibition in Sydney: [link]
A rather cool video of a series of pendulums: [link]
A selection of witty comebacks: [link] I love the Montagu-Wilkes exchange, though the picture makes it hard to take it seriously.
Edit: I'm going to add this selection of animal photos: [link]

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
