Atomic Lemon and a Good Book

As the evenings draw in this time of year, Atomic Lemon likes to settle down with a good book. Of course this book is made of polymer clay, but then, really, I guess that doesn't make too much difference to a lemon, does it?!

Atomic Lemon - Patron of the Arts

It's encore weekend for the 2010 Open Studios Tour,today and tomorrow 10-5. I'm not participating in the second weekend this year, but Margot and I will be taking our catalog and going to several other studios to visit and enjoy the art. Apparently Atomic Lemon will be joining in the fun. Who knew this plucky citrus fruit was an art patron as well?!

A Restorative Cup

Change in the air as the fall weather moves in.

Atomic Lemon enjoys a late afternoon cuppa
to ward off the autumn chill.

Atomic Lemon Leans to Port

Here in Morro Bay, these colourful buoys are a familiar sight, guiding boats and ships through the mouth of our harbour. Atomic Lemon gets "in the swim" so to speak as he comes into shore.

Atomic Lemon Plugged in to Tunes

Atomic Lemon all set to enjoy the upcoming long weekend -
kick back,listen to some tunes and
celebrate the end of summer!

The Lemons of Summer

The smell of hot dogs, the roar of the crowd,
the ump's mighty "Play ball!!"
Atomic Lemon enjoys the national pastime.

Things Go Better...

Ah, the pause that refreshes! Just what Atomic Lemon needs on a warm summer day. I mean, it's not like A L could have lemonade is it?

Atomic Lemon Celebrated Bastille Day!

Who knew Atomic Lemon was a Francophile? I've got my eye on that Fleur de Lis when the lemon's done with it!

Atomic Lemon - Gets Sassy!

This week Atomic Lemon gets ready for a night on the town with a pair of Sassy Feet glitter shoes. Not only will AL look fabulous. but there's no worries - Sassy Feet glitter paint will not shed. And yes, this is a totally unbiased pitch for my wife Margot's wonderful creations.

Atomic Lemon - Party Hearty!

This week Atomic Lemon runs with the fast crowd, attending a tropical drinks party. Lots of pina coladas, daiquiris, and mai tais - but no lemon drops or lemon martinis!! For that would be not only tasteless, but cannibalistic as well!

Atomic Lemon

Yes! It is almost 6" high!

One of the many great things about living on the Central Coast of California is being able to walk to the backyard and pick lemons. Our neighbours have several trees that back up on our fence and hang over into our yard. So not only do we get lemons, but we don't even have to do any maintenance on the trees - such a deal! I found this giant specimen on our deck the other day - yes, it is a lemon and yes, it is huge. Margot immediately dubbed it Atomic Lemon. You can see by the 6" ruler just how over-sized it is.

We've had fun dressing it up in different outfits (we don't have cable) and over the course of the summer, Atomic Lemon will grace these posts in all its varied glory. Watch for it!
