When Life Hands You Lemons...

So many options. 
What to do...
what to do?

I could get some sugar and make lemonade.
I could cut 'em open and suck the sour juice laughing at the sourpuss face it produces.
I could zest them and make a lemon zest cake.
Share with a neighbor for some neighborly tea with lemon.
A sharpie marker could be used to make an adorable lemon mouse.
Or I could throw 'em on the floor and stomp all over those sour little f#*!@#$.

Today?
I'm sticking them in the fruit bowl and walking away.
I'm not in the mood for lemons.
Maybe another day.

Life's been handing me lemons on a fairly regular basis lately.
I fear it may turn me into a sour puss!
Anyone want to trade for a peach?
I could use a peachy, lemon free day.

Not sure what is going on in life, but here is a basket of juicy apples, a few ripe bananas, a melon and some sweet blue berries. Hugs Karen

Oh dear Lynn.....

Yet those lemons look lovely. We have a lemon tree, I've used them a few times but only to squeeze over fish....
But when life hands you lemons, well just "squeeze" them till they pop, then you'll maybe feel a bit peachy? :)

Let's grind them lemons! Well maybe not the ones in the pick...they look yummy. Great post. Sending you huge hugs for what you face and your comforting words to my email/post. And yes, let me take a look at Mama's schedule and let's run away.
