When we first purchased our house on Aoku Street in April 2005, I we planted a lemon tree. I pictured myself making lemonade for my kids on hot days while they played on the lawn. I've been waiting YEARS for this stinking tree to yield some kind of fruit! Finally our gardener recently started feeding the tree a citrus fertilizer and of course NOW it is sprouting lemon after lemon! I say "of course" because it seemed to happen the second we signed the contract to sell the house. It just isn't fair! I've been caring for that oversized twig for years and someone ELSE gets to make lemonade for their kids... Oh well. "Such is life," as my father used to say.
