A lymon?

Yeah, boys. The Left Coast has got it on lock. Nothing like being in your shirtsleeves in February and plucking some citrus off a tree in your backyard. Yeah, boys. Meantime, how’s things going on in the Rust Belt & Bible Belt right about now? But, pray tell, is the fruit in the snap a lemon or a lime? Inquiring minds want to know!

It is a lemon, though if you were in an impaired state, as frequently we are, you might have mistaken it for a lime, surely. We did, one time, when seeking out some lime for gin-and-tonics. We were already half in the bag and we needed the lime. Tragic. Aborted a lemon-in-the-making, we did, yup. Hoo-boy.

If you guessed yellow, not green, you are correct! We left this guy alone to mature completely…
