When life deals you lemons, make lemonade


Perfect Lemonade
We had a huge crop of Meyer lemons this year.  I should have taken a photo of our tree with its branches weighted down almost to the ground.  

Meyer lemons are the best; so sweet you can almost eat them right off the tree. Well at least the kids think you can.

While Jacob had a buddy over this afternoon, I sent all the boys out with baskets to do some lemon picking. They came back with close to 30 lemons! They got quite a kick out of the juicing machine, and then sat down with their own cups to squeeze lemon juice, as they called it, the old fashioned way.


What do you do with 30 lemons? Make lemonade! This weekend the boys and I will make Auntie Sara's yummy lemon bars.
