Non-Placid Citric Acid

It's cautionary tale time.  Cautionary Magpie Tale time, that is.

Tess gave her assurances that no lemons were actually harmed in the making this rather gruesome-ish photograph, so I will have to trust her - and therefore, I'll just keep thinking those happy thoughts that it was done for dramatic effect.

Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to keep one's guard up, because otherwise bad things could happen...



Dangerous Fruit Liaisons

This is what happens
when lemons join in cahoots  
with blood oranges.

    Indeed they should, Janice, but you know how fruit can be - put them together in a bowl and you never know what might happen. Best to keep a careful watch...just in case.

    Thanks for stopping by! ☼

    It's wise not to let one's guard down - who knows what could happen. I love the quick witted play in this piece!
