Sunday Serenity

Look what came my way -
California sunshine!
Thank you sweet brother.


My brother and sis-i-l (and my Dodgie) live in temperate San Jose. Tho their yard is the size of a postage stamp, the bounty that comes from it is just amazing. Meyer lemon trees, some sort of lime tree, an apricot tree, among others.
Bill and Chrissy are having a horrid time this year. Their citrus trees are so laden with fruit, Bill has had to cull some of it. I told him to stop that nonsense and mail the excess citrus to me!

Well...he did! How wonderful was that?

It was so very loverly to come home to an unexpected box full of sunshine!
BTW, o brother of mine....I'm down to my last three...hint hint hint... :)

  10. There's no such thing as too much citrus fruit. What a burst of freshness and life for all of us here in Siberia. Please tell your wonderful brother if he needs to shed more fruit to ship it this way.

    wv: tries. No matter how hard she tries, CBW cannot enjoy winter. And looking at fresh lemons only makes her long for warm weather all the more.
