Angry Squirrel and botanical freebies

I think I may have come up with a new craze - Angry Squirrel!    On my front Balcony I have a lovely potted Myer lemon tree lemon. We purchased this tree on the second weekend we were here at Texas Traders (open air flea market).  My plan was to have beautiful Meyer lemons to make lemon curd and sliced lemons for water and general cooking.  All was well, the tree was very fruitful with about 5 lemons just starting ripen and a bunch of baby's on their way.  That was yesterday at 12:30.  I left the apartment to go to a thanksgiving lunch.  On my way back at about 2  I see three of my lemons on the ground (they were just stating to show yellow, no way they fall because they were ripe)  I went back into the apartment onto the balcony and see there is only one lemon left on the tree and on one the floor.  I pick up the lemon and I understand exactly what happened.

When I came back in to photo this I hear something on the balcony, and there it was the squirrel, He was at my tree giving it a shake down!

I shooed him away and no further mishaps!

I'm going to have to move the tree I think!!

Texan Squirrels don't like lemons.

I'm leaving you with a lemon illustration and a vintage lemon fabric back ground!

Thanks for stopping by!
