I am emotionally attached to my lemons and lemon trees. It's an unexplainable and totally weird feeling but it's that way, I can't help it. Every time someone tries to approach my lemon trees I feel nervous.
Now yesterday I came to know that some kids stole lemons from my tree and no need to say that I was angry, firstly because they could have asked. Of course, I would have said no, but they would have had the great feeling of having been polite. Secondly because I know they are going to sell those lemons or do something weird with them, as I doubt they were actually planning a pitcher of chilled lemon juice. Duh!
Now now people will call me of all names saying how cruel I am for not letting people pick lemon from my trees. I am not that mean. Once an old lady was passing by and offered me ten rupees for 4 lemons, and I gave them to her freely. OK, I know that won't give me a place next to Mother Theresa, wherever she might be, but that sure made you think I am relatively nice, huh?
Something has got to be done to prevent future lemon thefts and I'm off to trim my lemon trees and count my lemons. So long dudettes and dudes and my crazy aliens.
P.S: My toe is fine. :D
LOL you're gonna count your lemons? :P I think next time you should either plant the tree far from your gate. That's where it is, right??
ReplyDeleteyup it's close to the gate, but they climbed the wall to steal those lemons.
ReplyDeleteIf you have worked hard to grow your lemons you have the righ to be protective. ^^
ReplyDeletelol Dee that's so nice of you! hiih!
ReplyDeleteUse barbed wire to hold of thieves :P
ReplyDeleteHave fun counting all the lemons. Oh and what do you do with your lemons? Do you make your own lemonade?
huh..may i have some please? nah, kidding. what i love about blossoming lemon trees is the awesome perfume in the morning.
ReplyDeleteenjoy the lemons - make juice and cocktails (try to add "bergamotte" and grenadine") ^_^

manico, I make lemon juice or use the lemons for decoration. I totally love lemons! :D
ReplyDeleteshah, yeah the smell is so wonderful. I really love that. I'll try to mix other fruits as well. :D
wow i like that pic. yeah its true, i hate ppl offering them rights to take other ppl's lemons! at my place, some people used to climb on the walls to steal my papayas! arg and then one day, the cyclone came and down was the papaya tree. how i miss it. :(
ReplyDeleteare ur tress proteceted by a fence??? hehe..or maybe you could borrow rooch's cat n train her to scare ppl away..:-)
ReplyDeleteWell may it be lemon or anything else one should always respect and hence ensure the safety of the beloved entities. So you are correct, Go ahead. But don't you feel love should also spread and if your love can bring other happiness, it worths it, eh? ;) kidding.
ReplyDeletekeli, yup it seems some people can't resist stealing everything they find growing on their path! :(
ReplyDeletesamby, my trees are protected by a wall ;) I have a cat too and 4 dogs which were guarding the property. In fact I got to know of the theft by the barking of the dogs, they almost killed those "thieves".
Abinash, in fact now that I think about it, if someone asks me politely for some lemons I could give some without hesitation, but no one actually asked, they just stole. :(

ReplyDeleteNirmal, yeah it's so rude not to ask for permission before stealing something!
wow you have a lemon tree? I know people with mango or papaya trees but it's the first time i've heard of someone with a lemon tree in MU. I suppose that you don't live in PL then. Anyway, fewer and fewer people have gardens in MU nowadays. :(
ReplyDeletehey there! your blog is really nice! I like your spirited tone. I would be the same if I had a lemon tree! I love lemons. I have half a lemon in warm water every morning. Thanks for the comments you left on my blog.

If I was one of the kids reading this, I would not feel guilty. LOL
ReplyDeleteI would not use the big word 'stealing' but rather, 'prend sans demande permission' :P
Aline, yup I think people don't have the time to garden as well, thus the lack of gardens.
ReplyDeleteLovlieButterfly, I had half a lemon in warm water too this morning. It felt great!
Sourish, oh well, people don't get nominated that easily nowadays! sniff!
Slasher, ah mai exageration forms part of my personality. And I doubt those kids have the ability of feeling guilty, so...
uhoh...im new here...and what do i see??..a 'lime obsessed' blogger :p
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a lemon tree for real! :o I bet it must smell good in your garden with those lemons ^^
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor once had an apple tree in his yard and I thought the tree looked cute. Hahaha. And also it was the first time I actually saw an apple tree. I never knew apple trees grew in Mu. I think the neighbors didn't take enough care of the tree because in the end it just died!
I didn't know lemon grows on a tree. Yeah, I am a Biology prof. :D I like lemon anyway.
