Hi Shirley, Is it true that fresh lemons off the tree are so sweet you can eat them like grapefruit?? That is what someone told me. If it is true, I wonder what they do to them to make them so sour, by the time we buy them in the store? I love Morning Glories. My Grandpa used to have them growing beside the house with the Holly Hocks. I can't (couldn't) grow either one at my house. Love ya, Jerrian -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shirley Sullivan Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 10:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ML] A few thoughts after dinner It's 7:25 PM here, just starting to cool off a little, it been close to 90 today. We did our big shopping today, got home about 2:30 PM, by the time we got all the grocery's in the house, I was ready to sit down and take it easy, but no, I had to put all the cold stuff away, and the frozen food in the freezer. I bought one of those roasted chicken at Sam's club for dinner (their roasted chickens are so much bigger than at any other store) I made baked potatoes, cauliflower, and sliced fresh tomatoes. It was very good, and easy too. Now I am thinking what will I have for dinner tomorrow ???? I bought all this food, but didn't really think in terms of dinners ??? Oh well our granddaughter is coming for the weekend, maybe she will think of something ? Robert we have so many volunteer Morning Glories, I now call them the German Weed, that's what a German women called them, when she first saw them growing. In Germany they are considered a WEED !!! I was surprised to find a whole bunch of Pomegranate Bushes/Trees, volunteers, must be about 14 of them, it looks like one of the pomegranates we set out for the birds, must have fallen in the dirt, and took root over the winter. At the end of the year, if we have any cracked open pomegranates on the bush, we put them up on a high place for the birds in the back yard, they love them !! Is funny, but we have three plants out front, right now they are in bloom, and it looks like we will have a bumper crop this year. I can't tell you how many people stop out front and come up and ask if they can have some pomegranates, that's beside the people who just go over and pick what they want, with out even asking. I guess if there in the front yard, they think they are free for the picking. ! One man pulled over to the curb and asked my husband if he could have a couple, my husband said yes, he got a box out of his truck and went over to the tree and began picking as fast as he could, my husband told him he could have a couple, but he couldn't fill his box with them. My neighbor a few houses over always thinks she can just come over and pick what she wants, I can't believe peoples manners. I have a neighbor across the street, she has a Lemon tree next to her garage, but close to the street, and I have seen neighbors from all over come and just pick what they want, even after she told them to not take the lemons, unless she says it's OK. I can't believe they think we planted the fruit trees for their convenience, so they can take what they want, when ever they want. I have seen my one neighbor, who I feel is pretty honest, send her son over and pick lemons from the neighbors house, with no thought to how it's really stealing !!! So I am glad to find these volunt! eer Pomegranate trees, so I can plant them in my back yard, where I wi ll not have people stealing them when ever they want! Especially when I am going to make my Pomegranate jam, I will still have some on the tree. I am glad to hear your doing good Robert, you must be pretty healthy, to jump back that fast. It's also getting hot out here too, we have already had the air conditioning on a few times too. The wind is really whipping around here, there are several wild fires out here in California, so far they are all north of us, I am sure they were set by some nut case. I was watching this man on TV, he lost his house, and was so sad, I was so mad because they said the fire was stated on purpose. I am hoping that saying is true, "what goes around, comes around" and they get what they deserve in the end.
