some of my thoughts and notes

Citrus Earth

Last year in February I spent a few weeks in Portugal, some of them in a forest estate in a northern valley. I loved climbing the lemon trees every few days and picking some ripe lemons to make fresh ice tea. The grated the peels to extract as much as possible of their beautiful fragrance, and I loved standing in the trees where the fragrances of the wood, the leaves and the lemons mixed. I also loved the fragrance of the wet earth and moss in the forest.
