Extremely mutated lemon, looks like several lemons melted together with many limbs and protrusions.

Random note: Yes, it is still raining steadily. On the upside, AC Company store had a good sale on stone fruit yesterday. Must have bought too much to sell before it went bad. Not the prettiest, but good for canning. Peach preserves today; plum jelly tomorrow. #Alaska #UglyFruit
