Today I did volunteer work for the Master Gardeners, at the Farmers Market. It was foggy and chilly this morning, and I was glad to get home and work in the yard. The chickens came running when they heard me open the back door of the house. I broke a bunch of walnuts for them and they ate with gusto. Later I saw them sitting on the yellow garden wagon, taking a break from being on the cold ground. They stayed there a while and then they all took off and flew/ran to the back garden where they ate various weeds and other plants.
Since I had my camera out, I thought I'd take a photo of the big, yellow lemons growing on our tree in the front yard. They just started turning yellow last week and now the tree is laden with bright yellow, creating a cheery burst of color at the house entrance. So far we have not had a cold enough snap to harm the fruit, and I'm glad about that. One year the cold came early and all the lemons turned black and fell off the tree.
