Fallen fruit

Determined to find a use for them, I collected a couple dozen lemons from

the lemon graveyard underneath my aunt's Meyer lemon tree in Ojai. I zested them all.  And froze what I wouldn't use that day.

I squeezed them all.  I set aside a couple cups, then poured

the remainder into three empty ice cube trays and froze them.

Once frozen, I popped them out of the trays and into baggies.

I composted the rinds.

And then using the ample amounts of zest and juice I had set aside,

I made the most delicious Meyer lemon bars.
