When Life Gives You Lemons...


...make lemonade!


PINK lemonade!



So much easier if you have one of these babies...


Ingredients (recipe at the end...)








Don't let the squeezed lemons go to waste. Put the cut side, with some table salt on it, to your copper pots and rub till you are out of breath. I polished all the copper tonight, while the kids and dad played a board game. We are so Waltonesque, no?





As the sun was setting, I caught a glimpse. Oh, the handiwork of God!




Blessings on your evening, friends!
Pink Lemonade Recipe:

6 – lemons
2 – teaspoons grenadine syrup
1/2 to 3/4 – cup sugar
4 – cups water
1 – cup crushed ice


Mixing Instructions

Cut lemons in half and squeeze out the juice. If you have a juicer use it, if not just squeeze your juice into a bowl. Remove the seed from the squeezed lemon juice.

Pour lemon juice into a pitcher and add grenadine syrup, sugar and water. Stir vigorously until sugar is completely dissolved. Next add crushed ice and serve immediately.

Oh Yum. Everyone loved it...hope you try it this week!

Mmmhmmm...Just love that squeezie-thingie. Would just love to stumble upon one of those in a thrift shop!

Gorgeous sunset, too. Love it when God shows off!

Kim, I would think that the "squeezie thingey" wouldn't be hard to find at a thrift store! :-) If I see one around here, I'll pick it up for you.

Joanne, thank you *so* much for taking the time to leave a comment! I appreciate that. It is sooooooooooo hot here, too. In fact, this weekend, they are forecasting possible triple digit temps. It will for sure get up to 98 and 99 degrees, and the heat index will FOR SURE be well over 100, because we get such high humidity here. Is your summer heat a dry heat, or is it also humid where you are?

Thanks again for stopping by!
