I cut into my first lemon from my first lemon tree. Perfect little sections. Perfect rind. Perfect seeds. Perfect juice bomb. Lovesick. That's me.
It may as well be the first lemon on earth. And I just discovered it. No one can tell me different.
The facts: I sit. I stare. I open. I close.
Someone went to the Pantages yesterday to see HAIR. Yes she did. When the tribe goes skipping through the aisles with their flowers these were deposited in my lap.
Your blog is so visually pleasing.
I love the way you take your photos and post them. A work of art.
I also have about 20 photographs I took of lemons in a bowl. (Lemons bought in a grocery store in Schuyler Nebraska) I know I’m jealous.
You have your own lemon tree?!?!?! My mouth is watering. I love lemon water. My daughter just said a few days ago I wonder how many people actually drink lemon water in their homes besides you. I love fresh lemon meringue pie. That’s it, no lemon candy but I love the first two so much and yellow is my favorite color. I think I’m jealous.
Oh, never mind. Occurred to me to check comments on the other post and I found your link. Tankuveddymuch!

Oh, oh, oh…to have a lemon tree in my very own yard. Unlikely here in Maryland. 🙁
When I lived in Iran they sold lemons that were actually sweet. I wonder why no one has grown them in the US?!?!? Maybe you??? see if some of those LA Iranians can get you some seeds from the motherland???
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet…
don’t let anyone tell you that the fruit is not.
Absolutely luscious!
It is the dawning of the age..of lemons, when the moon is in the (is it 7th house?) of Aquarius, and Jupiter will align with Mars…
Oh, back to my youthish place. So many words forgotten. Let the sunshine in! Your lemons are gorgeous. Once I sliced a lemon very thinly and stuck it on the window glass to see the light shine through. Oh, glorious….it works wonders with cucumbers too. What geometry of loveliness Mother Nature has granted us. Consider the beauty for the eye and the beauty for the palate and tongue. Oh, let the sunshine in!
Love to you,e.
1st contact with your blog since getting down here. All´s right with the world now that I can access Dispatch from LA.
Loved your “1st lemon” blog – and here I am in the land of lemons – even though yours is the 1st! (I can´t believe how fast your tiny tree grew – it seemed like only yesterday that u brought it home!)
Also LOVE the Paris journal!!! Once again, I will have nothing & even if I did, it would not be so spectacular.
I met an artist-art teacher at a jazz concert HERE AT at the Casa (Lila Downs & her husband sat in!!!)yesterday & will go to his studio tomorrow. I have high hopes as I am so inspired here. I{ll send u a foto of my room – a world away from our Paris apt.! but charming & thriling just the same- Hope u can read this, no letters on the keyboard & no light in the room. Love from Oaxaca, S.
…..gimme a head with Hair, long Beautiful Hair…..
Your life is a work of art.
Nice composition for the photo as well, the plate, the angle
the juiciness of it all…
Groovy!!
What kind of lemons are these? I just received four Meyer lemons in my CSA box but them’s imported from Arizona or California. Didn’t you JUST put in that tree last year? How big/old was it when you planted it? Oh oh oh, to have lemons in your own back yard. I’ll send you the lemon marmalade recipe that was in the CSA box today.
Again, oh oh oh!
How wonderful for you.
