Lemons, Lemons, Lemons


Every year, I promise myself that we wont waste lemons. This year, I started early and gave anybody who came by buckets of lemons. We picked and gave away many wheelbarrels full of lemons and yet there are hundreds of lemons that are now ripening and falling and there's no way we can use them all. Today I squeezed almost 10 bags of juice. I made lemon munchies and lemonade but those things of course don't make a dent. The kids had fun playing in the wheel barrel and throwing lemons out but of course it wasn't as fun to put them in. Ellie actually loves to cut and squeeze the lemons so she did most of the squeezing.

Those are the cutest lemon pics ever. I wish Mathew and Levi could play together--they would have so much fun being pirates and super heros.

Those look so good! Suz gave me a bunch last year and we made some great lemonade.

I think your kids should set up a lemon stand.
