Mother Nature: My Life In a Lemon Grove

During this unsettling time I find much relief walking beside the lemon grove. I take my time on the same route every day. How the lemons and my life has changed. The trees have already flowered and small green lemons appeared. Soon they grew larger and bright yellow. As I walk each day ripe lemons fill the trees. Some have dropped and scattered. I wonder when or if they ever will be picked and crated. I watch a hawk soar above and I think what it would be like to be so free and able to land where ever I want. Today I find one perfect lemon rolled onto the roadside. I pick it up and place it in my pocket with an image of how it will taste with dinner tonight.
