lemonade

...for trying to make lemonade out of lemons.  we have this citrus tree in our backyard that produces the most amazing fruit.  giant lemons that stay fresh for weeks and are so good in soups, salads and even plain water.  they put trader joe's lemons to shame {i still love you, joe.  your almond butter will always hold a special place in my heart}.  i'm currently on vacation, and bummed that school starts again next week.  but in the spirit of new year's lemons and all of their optimism, i'll try and look on the bright side.  only six more months until summer.  it will feel so good to leave the house each morning for school.
