Lemon Drop Martini

Photograph of a lemon drop martini

Every day
            I promise myself
Only one

But then,
            more often than intended,
I find myself

At the grocery store
            Buying more lemons
But, not to worry

Lemons,
            they say,
are good for you

Blossoming Prickly Pear

Despite its incredibly fierce passive/aggressive defense, the Prickly Pear Cactus sprouts a very delicate flower about this time every spring. These are a few growing around the perimeter of the Snow to Sun RV Resort’s leash-free dog park and birding center. Prickly Pear blossoms begin opening in the Rio Grande Valley late March. By the end of June to the middle of July tunas will be ripe for harvest and turned into a delicious wine.
