Here's my back yard this morning. Maybe you can make out the clover blossoms. That's my little Meyer lemon tree in the background.

I have a Meyers lemon tree too. It's in the living room right now where we've put it to save if from the cold. It's not meant for this area and would die if left outside. Erstwhile boyfriend sent it to me as a gift because he knew I missed my home in S. Cal and the lemon trees there. I don't know what we're going to do as it gets bigger. Maybe we'll move to Florida.

Maybe if you keep it in a pot it will stay small, sort of like a bonsai.

Here's hoping. It's in a large pot now and if it gets any bigger we're going to need a hand-truck to move it. Maybe it will stay comfy in this pot, though.

You might want to research bonsai. It involves occasional repotting, trimming the roots and pruning. I bet you could do it and keep a nice little tree.

No rain this morning, but the sky is a dismal grey and it's cool out. It looks like a couple more days of rain from this storm. We've had almost 14 inches so far this year, which is more than our normal annual average.
A strange thing: Usually after this much rain there are earth worms on the patio and driveway. There are none. Seems weird.
A couple towhees flew down to the oatmeal. One stayed way back until the other one had its fill and flew off. I guess that's what you call pecking order.

Well, it's still raining and I'm inside with a hot chocolate and cookies. At least I'm getting a free car wash. I hope you're getting some sun.
I've been reading a book called The Introvert Advantage, How to Thrive in an Extrovert World. It's a little too late now, but maybe I'll learn what I should have done.

Since I'm stuck inside looking for something to do, I thought I would share these strange little figures with you.
They were my older son's. He collected American Indian things. I don't know if they mean anything, but I love their little faces.

Coco, I see you are in Wisconsin. I have a pen pal in Janesville who tells me about the weather there and I understand that it can be pretty tough. Stay in and stay warm.

I did some research on them and they are signed on the bottom by the maker who calls himself Whata Hey. I don't know if he or she is native American. The maker calls them wise women.
