Let's Make Lemonade!

I have plenty of things on my list today...but I did promise myself that I would do better at keeping up my blog so here goes...

Micah started his new job on Monday and so we knew we needed to get some extra "chores" done around here before he was "too busy" with school and work to get to them. It has been great having him home to help out with the yard, pool, etc. because he is really good at it. Unfortunately, we have ignored the Mesquite tree out front for too long and it's branches were almost touching the ground again. I knew it was something that needed attention and right away...so true to form, he took care of it! Thanks, Micah! It looks great again:-)

Yesterday we were finally able to put in the lemon, orange and grapefruit trees. It is really exciting for me to look out the window and see my new little lemon tree loaded with lemons! We are hoping to have fresh squeezed orange and ruby red grapefruit juice by February! Just in case anyone is thinking about heading this way...hint, hint...

By the way, the reason my lawn looks so sad it that they skin them back this time of year (it looked really pretty until they did) to broadcast rye seed for the winter lawns...it will be a gorgeous kelly green (hopefully) in a couple of weeks! I just threw in the picture of my orange hibiscus as added incentive to you:-)

Anyway, here are some pictures just to "wet your whistle" as they say:-)
