Anne's Meyer Lemon Tree
 
Our wonderful friend and neighbor
who lives down the way called me
yesterday to come get some lemons.
So I did....a huge bag full to use in
allthe Marmalades I want to make
and to share with other friends...
I may have to go back and get more.
I love making marmalades.

I was in a jam.......

 
 
Actually I was making marmalade! 
Meyer Lemon-Blood Orange Marmalade!
 
One of nine little jars    1-6-2015
 
Our Meyer lemon tree has six lemons
on it this year.....two were ripe so I
combined them with eight little Blood oranges
from our local organic co-op to make
this absolutely scrumptious marmalade!
Rather time consuming, but well
worth the effort! I'll be sharing a bit!
Cheers and have a great day!

Six Words and Sunday Shadows!!! December 6-7, 2014

Soon I will make Lemon Marmalade!!
Meyer Lemon Marmalade is the best!



 Our Meyer Lemon tree lives in the Art hall
during our cold winter months...


Here's the largest lemon so far....


We have a total of six lemons this year...
last year we only had two, but I managed 
to make about 8 small jars...and actually
shared a few! Just imagine how many more
I can make this year!
~~~
Saunter over Six Word Saturday and then
sashay over to Shadow Shot Sunday to enjoy
what other folks have to say and how!
Have a great day!

It's Time for Awww Mondays! May 19, 2014

Baby plants can be cute too!
Last April we bought a Meyer Lemon tree
and managed to harvest 2 lemons.
This year our tree is loaded with
blossoms and since it is inside still
we have been busy as bees. In other
words we have been the pollinators
armed not with scopas. We have 
to be artistic pollinators armed
with tiny paint brushes.

So far we have well over 15 tiny lemons. 
That will add up to lots on 
lemony delights later on this year! 
Right now we can smell the lemony
fragrance  throughout the house.
