The president of our little company has a lemon tree. Apparently mid-winter is a good time for lemons here in California. Anyway, I am looking at two of them on my desk and my mouth has started to water in anticipation - for the taste or the tartness, I'm not sure. I'm seriously thinking of slicing one open and eating it straight, something I don't think I've done for years and years.

This suprises me. I'm not a fan of lemon in my water, and I detest lemon-flavoured things (I'll eat lemon meringue pie out of politeness only, but never any lemon creme pastries). But I keep looking at them and wondering what it'd be like. They certainly smell good. I think it's time to just give in and do it.
