strange blessings

[pantryslut]

Some of you may know that one of the very few things I miss about my house days is the lemon tree in the back yard.

Today a co-worker insisted that I take home two lemons from her backyard tree.

I'm going to pretend that this means something. Something about how the universe provides in unexpected ways.

Wow. Life has literally given you lemons.

Indeed.

Lemon tree, very pretty...

I have grown a lemon tree successfully in a large pot. I dunno what your outdoors/sunlight situation is, but perhaps you could do it too.

It's the ravenous beastie cats that I worry about, actually. One of them took down a cactus this week. A *cactus.* Don't they know that cats are carnivorous?!

Wow, those are some beasties you got

Are they taking the plants down by digging in the pots, or actually eating the plants, or what? You can put screen on the surface of the dirt to prevent digging and peeing.

They eat (or at least chew on) the leaves, and sometimes pull them out of the pot with their teeth, like the sad cactus. A lemon tree might be woody enough to deter them, though.
