I encourage parents, educators, schools, garden clubs, civic groups to order free seed catalogs; they're excellent teaching resources!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
If we can inspire children (and adults) to learn about nutrition, biodiversity and self-sustaining agriculture, perhaps they will learn to make more intelligent food choices and promote healthier living. I have read many seed catalogs in their entirety. I believe and hope future generations will come to understand how wonderful growing our own organic food and saving seed truly is. My daughter Ava understood what a seed was long before her second birthday. It is never too early to give the gift of gardening to our babies.<br />
<br />
Let us also teach our children what an heirloom vegetable is, how to save seeds, and which seeds can even be saved! Have fun. Grow something and happy harvesting!<br />

<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">What do you do when you see a fruit tree with fruit rotting to the ground? Do Nothing. Nothing will ever get done.</span></strong><br />

<div align="justify">
<span style="color: black;">Let us remember Thanksgiving Day as a day to help others less fortunate. Please help harvest fruit for the hungry. Apples, oranges, lemons, persimmons, peaches, pears, pomegranates. All grow in abundance along our urban sidewalks. Call the Lemon Lady to help harvest fruit for the hungry. Or, drop a flyer and make friends with a neighbor. <a href="http://thelemonlady.blogspot.com/2010/05/nationwide-food-bank-locator-where-to.html">SHARE Fresh fruit with a local food pantry.</a> Hunger knows no season.</span></div>

The Jefferson Awards are a prestigious national recognition system honoring community and public service in America. The Jefferson Awards are presented on two levels: national and local. They began in 1972 to create a Nobel Prize for public service. Today, their primary purpose is to serve as a "Call to Action for Volunteers" in local communities. <a href="http://thelemonlady.blogspot.com/2010/09/jefferson-award-winner-cbs5-television.html"><b><span style="font-size: large;">CLICK cbs5.com</span></b></a> logo to view The Lemon Lady Jefferson Award Television interview.<br />

These sweet orphan kittens were abandoned on a stone-cold, residential driveway in Walnut Creek. A true miracle for them - a caring family rescued kittens just in time, and they found their way to my home. Little did I know, these lil' fluff balls would SAVE ME during the tough times we are going through. Just what the Doctor ordered!
So much joy! Beautiful. Playful. Loved. Adored. PLEASE SHARE with the BEST possible family to give these Lil' Milk Guzzlers a permanent home with a lifetime of love they've known and so deserve.
READY FOR ADOPTION SOON!</span></span></span><span class="truncate-line-truncation-content content-body-full" face="system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, HelveticaNeue, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, "Segoe UI", Arial, sans-serif" style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; display: block; letter-spacing: -0.32px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Linkify" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: medium;" tabindex="0">

CURRENT ISSUE.</span><br />
<br />
April 2011, I was contacted by <span style="color: rgb(255 , 0 , 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">People Magazine</span> to be included as a <span style="color: rgb(255 , 0 , 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">"Hometown Hero"</span> for my volunteer work of harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables to feed the hungry. We finished the People Magazine Interview and photo shoot a few weeks ago. I understand the "lemon lady" article may publish in this week's edition of People Magazine.<br />
<br />
Friends and Family, please keep a look out at newsstands nationwide for People Magazine.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(255 , 0 , 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">More important - Have YOU walked on by a fruit tree today?</span><br />
<span style="color: rgb(255 , 0 , 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Do nothing. Nothing will ever get done. I can't harvest every fruit tree in America, all by myself.</span><br />
<br />
FREE Fruit Harvesting for the Hungry.<br />
FREE pick-up and delivery to local food pantries.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(102 , 0 , 204); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Any one of us can step up and make a difference to those in need. Any Town, USA. Please be inspired to help. Fruit truly matters. Thank you.</span><br />

<br />
Ahh...what memories. Back when I was single and fancy free, before trading cookbooks for Dr. Seuss books, I lived and breathed from one dinner party to the next. Baking trays and trays of scrumptious desserts. A tried and true recipe from <a href="http://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipes/login.asp?docid=5500">Cook's Illustrated</a> still tops my list as an all-time favorite. Give it a try. Find a neighbor with a lemon tree. Glean a few for the food pantry. Make friends and bake yummy lemon bars!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipes/login.asp?docid=5500">From Cook’s Illustrated, May/June ’98.</a><br />
The crust:<br />
1 ¾ cups flour<br />
2/3 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for decoration<br />
¼ cup cornstarch<br />
¾ tsp. salt<br />
12 tbl. unsalted butter at very cool room temp., cut into 1-inch pieces<br />
<br />
Lemon filling:<br />
4 large eggs, beaten lightly*<br />
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar<br />
3 tbl. flour<br />
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest from 1 large lemon<br />
2/3 cup juice from 3 large lemons, strained<br />
1/3 cup whole milk<br />
1/8 tsp. salt<br />
<br />
*I prefer Extra Large Eggs, so if your eggs aren't very large, use 5 eggs, add a bit extra sugar and even more lemon juice to taste.<br />
<br />
For the crust: Lightly butter a 13-by-9-inch baking pan and line with one sheet of parchment paper. Dot paper with butter and then lay a second sheet crosswise over the first.<br />
<br />
Pulse flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, and salt in food processor to blend. Add butter and process to blend, 8 to 10 seconds, then pulse until mixture is pale yellow and resembles coarse meal, about three 1-second bursts. Sprinkle mixture into lined pan and press firmly with fingers into even, ¼-inch layer over entire pan bottom and about ½ inch up sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake crust until golden brown about 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
For the filling: While crust is baking, whisk eggs, sugar and flour in a medium bowl then stir in lemon juice, zest, mile and salt to blend well.<br />
<br />
To finish the bars: Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Stir filling mixture to reblend; pour into warm crust. Bake until filling feels firm when touched lightly, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to wire rack; cool to near room temperature, at least 30 minutes. Holding edges of parchment paper, lift whole cake out of pan and transfer to cutting board, fold paper down sides and cut into serving-size squares or bars, wiping knife clean between cuts. Sieve more powdered sugar over bars, if desired.<br />

I encourage parents, educators, schools, garden clubs, civic groups to order free seed catalogs; they're excellent teaching resources!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
<br />
If I had a class of students, I would send the list of FREE SEED CATALOGS home so parents can order for rainy day reading. This is free education at it's best, in my humble opinion.</div>
<br />
If we can inspire children (and adults) to learn about nutrition, biodiversity and self-sustaining agriculture, perhaps they will learn to make more intelligent food choices and promote healthier living. I have read many seed catalogs in their entirety. I believe and hope future generations will come to understand how wonderful growing our own organic food and saving seed truly is. My daughter Ava understood what a seed was long before her second birthday. It is never too early to give the gift of gardening to our babies.<br />
<br />
Let us also teach our children what an heirloom vegetable is, how to save seeds, and which seeds can even be saved! Have fun. Grow something and happy harvesting!<br />

<br />
If we can inspire children (and adults) to learn about nutrition, biodiversity and self-sustaining agriculture, perhaps they will learn to make more intelligent food choices and promote healthier living. I have read many seed catalogs in their entirety. I believe and hope future generations will come to understand how wonderful growing our own organic food and saving seed truly is. My daughter Ava understood what a seed was long before her second birthday. It is never too early to give the gift of gardening to our babies.<br />
<br />
Let us also teach our children what an heirloom vegetable is, how to save seeds, and which seeds can even be saved! Have fun. Grow something and happy harvesting!<br />
