Lemon Tree, Very Pretty

August 25, 2009 by WendyB

I’ve been having fun in L.A. but I’ve been doing a lot of work too. I managed to tear myself away from the laptop yesterday to sit by the pool for three hours.

While poolside, I pondered a lemon tree that, unlike more productive neighboring lemon trees, had put all its energy into creating a single large lemon.

An only child.

An only child.

I also had a cocktail, as I promised Kristin I would. This being L.A., it had blueberries and acai in it for a healthy antioxidant effect. Hopefully, that will counteract my Wrinkly Slut situation.

I felt so much younger after drinking it.

I felt so much younger after drinking it.

I wonder if the lemon tree noticed the lemon wedge in my drink and silently screamed, “MURDERER!” I will try to make amends with this wonderful musical interlude. Take it away, Trini Lopez!

By the way, I tweeted that I was going to the pool and gorgeous but possibly appalled blogger The City Sage tweeted back, “At first I thought it said, ‘I’m going to poo’!” I can assure City Sage and the rest of you that if you ever see a tweet like that from me, I’ve been hacked and you should alert the appropriate authorities. But if talking poo is your thing, I suggest you check out this TMI Thursday post from gorgeous blogger LiLu LivitLuvit. “Enjoy!” isn’t really the appropriate thing to say as an introduction to this post. Instead I’ll say … um … well, really, I got nothin’.

    Hahaha, love the drink name and that story! I struggle with some mean comments to, but try not to let that affect me to much.

    Aw that lemon is so cute and industrious! Maybe not the smartest, but certainly the most determined.
