A sweet sunset

We were at the farm this past week and the weather was very nice. The afternoon sunset on Wednesday was gorgeous. The cloud colors went from white to that interesting salmon color. Wonderful to just stand and admire God's handiwork. 

Earlier in the afternoon Mikki came walking up saying  "look at our lemons"... I'd forgotten about the little lemon tree. It had been planted by the front gate, frost bitten last year, and then uprooted and moved down the way in the flower bed. Unfortunately, we planted the bush a bit close to the fence and the horses must like the taste of the leaves because they've nearly stripped it of foliage. But for some reason the little Meyer lemon tree wouldn't give up and produced five surprise lemons. I had never even checked on it and obviously it really didn't need our husbandry to produce. In spite of the abuse the tree has taken, it has given us a wonderful surprise this winter. We'll pay a little more attention next year.
