Fun Fact


If you have the delightful chance 
to pick some fruit from a citrus tree
 and you're not sure what it is...
...A lime tree is bushy, 
a lemon is tall and tree like. 
 The leaves on a lime tree
 smell like a lime when you crush them. 
 Lemon tree leaves have no smell.  
I so wish we would have
bought a couple of fruit
trees when we first moved here
over 20 years ago.
They would be fully mature now....
and fruity.

Well, who knew that lemon tree leaves have no smell?!?

(This post reminds me that I bought a whole bag of lemons for something that I never used them for. Wonder if they're still any good???)

Don't you just love hind-sight? :)
I wish you had planted citrus trees, too! But you DO have an avocado tree! That's fun...

Kim: Yes, yes. I do have the avocado tree. With no fruit.

Rebecca: I think citrus can keep for quite a while in the fridge!

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
