When Life Gives You Lemons.....

Or, when your lemon tree gives you lemons.....

...........you make lemonade!!!

On Saturday our youngest daughter and I picked about 75 lemons from our tree. The tree has at least another 75 lemons that are not quite ready to be picked.

Enjoy the pictures of the lemon pickin'!













We had to wear gloves when picking the lemons. The branches of the tree have thorns all over them. We're talking 1" thorns. Ouch.

"Hmmmm, I think this one is a keeper."




We laughed at the 'face' she made in this picture. The lemon didn't smell bad...maybe just a bit too 'citrus-y'?


Squeezing out the lemon juice with The Pampered Chef© Juicer. What a great tool!!



The ONE photo I don't have????? The finished product!!! We'll get one of the next batch.

  1. SWEEET! (or should I say 'SOUR!'..I guess it depends on how much sugar you added to the final product!)
