The Traveling Lemon

[shadowfireflame]

Ah, Cabin Pressure. The things you make us do. *facepalm*

As requested by lobelia321, may I present my contribution to the Traveling Lemon Project for John Finnemore: Lemon in Non-Descript Backyard/Field in Texas. I wish I lived near some awesome national landmark or obvious place, but unfortunately, I kind of live in the middle of nowhere. (It took me forever just to find a postcard for Martin Freeman.)

See this post by pudupudu for details on the Traveling Lemon Project. :)



Lemon in the heart of Texas.


Lemon on the swing.


On a table that desperately needs its sun-shading umbrella!


By our catfish pond. The lemon looks so small here! :/


Overlooking the ranch area.


Alas, we have no horses, but my neighbor does!


This picture doesn’t actually have a lemon in it; I just thought the horses were so lovely.


This is the one I actually submitted to the project. Mostly because it has pretty horses in it. :D

Hope you enjoy!

YOU HAVE SUNSHINE.

I so want to be that lemon and bask in that sunshine.

I am so delighted that you took lemon pictures and posted them!!!!!!! Isn't it just too weird and fun?? I jostled a hundred tourists to take mine. They probably thought I was some zany local, engaging in a peculiar native ritual. (They were right.)

Oh God, yes, we have sunshine. Please, for all that is good and holy, please come and take some of it AWAY. There is a lot--far too much. (Okay, I'll stop trying to quote John in ASiP now!)

But seriously, it's too hot. Averaging 90 degrees, no shade, droughts, sunburns, the whole nine yards. I wasn't outside that long taking photos, but when I came in I had to immediately go shower because I was drenched. I REGRET NOTHING, though; it was tons of fun. :D

I would absolutely love to see the faces of those tourists when you took their place with...a lemon. Hahahahaha!

The little voice in my head started singing 'deep in the heaaaart of Texas', lol. Pretty!

LOL, thanks! You have no idea how often I find myself inadvertently singing that song. Also doing the little hand claps that go with it. *facepalm*

The one with the horses is perfect! It makes the point that where you live there aren't landmarks -- this is what there is, and it's beautiful.

Oh, thank you very much indeed! You work with what you have, I suppose. I consider myself something of a city girl, having gone to college in a big city, but when I came home, my parents had moved to the middle of nowhere. Oh well.
