Yellow lemons in the lemon tree


Something made us look up a song on You Tube today, that we used to kinda enjoy in the 90's - Lemon Tree sung by Fools Garden and we enjoyed listening to it again.

Lemons are quite something to look back on as a fond memory - and even still use to create future memories. Plenty of fresh lemon juice as well as a bit of cinnamon and sugar on a lovely warm, thin and very flat and smooth pancake goes down really well. The pancake must be dripping with lemon. Never quite sure if the yellow colour of a lemon is considered bright yellow, dull yellow, pale yellow, or just plain good yellow - but it was obviously a similar colour that I wanted my hair to be when I used to sit out in the sun with sticky fresh lemon juice on my hair, trying to get my hair more blonde - when I was much younger than I am now! Whatever the kind of yellow a lemon is, lemons are here to stay, and a lemon tree looks good in the garden with those yellow lemons showing up against lovely green leaves - those fresh lemon tree leaves smell just divine too when they are crushed and held up to your nose. Every garden should have a lemon tree.
ps - do you see the "face" in the top right corner of the lemon tree picture? If you can, spend more time looking at the picture, and you'll be able to make out some other faces in that lemon tree too!
