Butts, Lemons, and Impatiens

I had Tommy go back into the store with the pork butts for $1.79/lb. to see if they got more in before the ad went off on Tuesday. No such luck. He was going to get more lemons, too, but they had gone back up in price since they were on the holiday ad. 

Interested in how the lemons tasted that looked pale orange, I took one and cut it open. It was the juiciest lemon I had ever seen, and the juice was not so tart as most lemons. After a little research, I decided I had bought Meyer lemons. The bag is from Limoneira, from California. The brand seems like an upscale brand, but this grocery store is definitely not upscale, not that it matters. 

I have been checking for lemon flower buds on my Meyer lemon tree. Now, I need to juice the ones I have from the grocery. 

At the plant sale, I bought an impatiens plant. I am not crazy about impatiens, but I knew the ones I had seen had really pretty flowers, especially when viewed from afar. My impatien finally had one red or dark pink flower. Then, the leaves started turning yellow, but the yellow was in a pattern. So, I lost the panic and figured these were variegated leaves. Then, many flowers bloomed. It is beautiful.

Finally, I looked it up and found a plant just like mine. I am so happy I bought this pot because it is beautiful, not as many flowers as in the pictures, but gorgeous anyway. And, the plant was a foot tall for only $4. My flowers are not pink, well not a paler pink like in the picture at the head of this post. I love it. 

Have you ever found Meyer lemons in the produce section at any grocery? 

Do you like impatiens? My friend's impatiens reseeded every year so she never bought them again, just watched them grow. Has this been your experience?
