My grandmother Mabel (called Garkie by my family as the result of a gross parental misinterpretation of my infantile diction) sometimes gave tea parties. In one tea-party story, my toddler self ate all the lemons, and Garkie had to keep going to the kitchen to get more for the ladies — my mother apologizing, and Garkie saying, “No, no. I have plenty more.”
A love of citrus is an inherited trait in my family. And since it runs in my daughter-in-law’s family, too, my grandson is doubly blessed, you might say. (I’m eating the lemons in my tea as I write.)



I recall especially loving plain lemons when I was pregnant for the first time. But I still like them plain now and then (and always with sugar).
Perhaps you have the gene!
(the photos are lovely!)
That made me want to have a very lemony tea party (without libertarian politics).
We are all going to wear off the enamel on our teeth.
I would come to your non-Tea Party lemony tea party!
