Hello Earl Schumacker, hi! I love lemons. I use it in my teas along with honey. I love lemon pie. My room is painted yellow. It is hard to tell when a banana is ripe.Same for a plantain. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hi Darlene, Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. You would love Costa Rica. I was staying on an estate there where they had at least 20 different species of lemon and lime trees growing. Every day I would surprise myself and pick lemons from a different tree and then make a drink from them. Have a mellow yellow lovely day. Earl
