Japan

So I'm hanging out here in Japan, having a blast. The food is great, and when I get back to the states, I'm going to post some photos of the WAY BETTER SUSHI THAN WE HAVE IN PORTLAND. If you get my drift. They don't have spicy tuna, but all that is is a matter of mayonnaise, so we'll be peachy.

Anypoo, I'm having some deep thoughts about stuff, which I feel not yet at liberty to divulge. But expect some pictures of bacon sushi and also my new favorite, which I think is called salad roll. I'm not sure, but it's not really salad. What it IS is delicious.

Even in Japan though, I do need my morning coffee. So, off I go.

my lemon tree

I've been putting this off. But I got a new camera, and now you can see my lemon tree in all its glory.


And this one too:


It's easy to kill a citrus. I really hope I didn't kill the lime. We'll find out.

Meyer Lemon

My tree has some little tiny baby blossoms on it. They haven't actually opened yet, but the thought of it thrills me.

However, I think my lime tree is angry at me. It is dropping leaves. I transplanted both trees today though, and hopefully it will all be ok. I hope the lemon isn't angry at me for transplanting it with buds on it. There were worms in the lemon pot. That thrilled me.

I've been very lenient with myself over updating this thing. I know I should be better about it, but I need people to acknowledge they're reading it, you know?

In CI news, the thing works fabulously. I'm always listening to my iPod with it, and though I haven't yet mastered the art of talking on the phone, it is about a million times better than before, i.e. when I couldn't hear at all in my left ear.

In food/horticulture news, I ordered a meyer lemon tree and a kaffir lime tree. They should be on their way as of tomorrow, and I look forward to seeing just how they do in my sometimes chilly Oregon clime. They'll be like the puppies I'm in no position to buy. Nobody ever tells you that you can't have plants in your apartment.
