A Single Lemon!

In our backyard, we have an old terra cotta pot with a lemon tree that we have had for several years. Now, our climate is particularly harsh for what is traditionally known as a hot, dry continent. In fact, our area suffers from cold weather, frosts, storms and heavy rains in winter.
So the poor old lemon tree struggles, to say the very least. My wife encourages me and the boys to wee on them, as it is supposed to help them to grow.
This season, the poor old tree has suffered through a move and an ongoing drought of significant proportions. That it survived is a miracle but, more importantly, it has borne fruit. More accurately, one fruit! The single lemon steadily grew through the summer and autumn, enjoying having the whole tree to itself, reaching impressive proportions. Last weekend, my youngest son and his best mate cooked a lovely breakfast of pancakes and, yes, it was time to sacrifice our pride and joy. And so it was that the single lemon was enjoyed, squeezed over pancakes on a cold, rainy winters morning. What better fate could befall such a wonderful thing?
Enjoy the fruits of your labors, savour their sweetness. No matter how small or insignificant they may seem, they are wonderful representations of your efforts.
Have a GREAT day!
