Citrus Trees

My Meyer Lemon tree decided to blossom once fall came and it was getting only about 12-13 hours of sun. It smells wonderful. I'm hoping to get them to make it to maturity instead of falling off part way through this time. We don't have citrus fertilizer way up here in the frozen north, so I'm doing the best I can with Miracid and an indoor houseplant ferilizer.

The Key Lime trees I planted from seed last spring are doing good. I pruned 4 inches or so off the top so they would start to branch instead of just growing straight up. Here's the new growth on one of them.

Halloween

Pumpkins

 The costumes. Bridget had told me for quite some time that she was going to be a butterfly (for the 3rd year running). That all changed though, when she saw Jacob's painted face, and decided that she wanted to be a ghost just like him. I have to say one thing. She was an original that night.

 Anne was a cow, although the kids kept telling me that the nose looked like a duck bill. Quack-moo-waaa.

 David helped his mom cut some tile for her backsplash. He didn't have all his normal tile gear, so he improvised. In case you can't tell what he's wearing, it's chore boots, a garbage bag, and one of the girls' earmuffs. You do what you have to do.
