Turning Lemons into Lemonade

We have long awaited the day that our dwarf lemon tree would produce lemons. We began to think that even though it looked like a lemon tree and smelled like a lemon tree that maybe our barren little tree wasn't really a lemon tree. However, this last spring and summer after about four years of waiting, we noticed that it might actually produce something. Saturday, we had our first taste of the wonders of living in a warm climate (even though it happened to be the coldest day of our Fall season). The kids made some delicious lemonade. It was gone all too soon, but guess what? More were ripe today! So this afternoon Spencer and I made more. Even though this first year of production is small, we will probably have a hundred or more to enjoy. Looks like I had better look up some lemon recipes or we will be drinking lots of lemonade.

Look what else I saw in our yard. The cat scared it away before I could get anymore photos.
