When the Garden Gives You Lemons

 

Lemons

According to the famous saying, when life gives you lemons you are supposed to make lemonade.   But, when the garden gives us lemons, we like to share them.  Daughter picked two dozen lemons from this one tree to share with her friends when she went out with them on Sunday.  And I picked another two dozen or so of lemons on Sunday afternoon to share with one of my neighbors.  There are still more lemons on the tree!  I will make some lemonade with some of the remaining lemons and maybe some lemon marmalade if I feel up to it.  My mother used to salt and dry the lemons and make lemon pickle with the salted, dried lemons, but, neither my daughter nor I like pickled lemons, so, I don't make them.

Sunday was another lovely, sunny day, and it was warmer than it has been recently.  Daughter spent the day out with her friends, doing escape rooms.   I opened all the doors and windows to air out the house, took lemons to my neighbor, did a little more mending on the quilt, watched some videos online, read a bit, and watched the Olympics Closing Ceremony.  

On Sunday, I was grateful for:

- Lemons from the garden
- Being able to share lemons with friends and neighbors
- Daughter had a good time with her friends
- A sunny and warm day
- Time to relax

Sunday's joyful activities included sewing and watching the Closing Ceremonies.

Plans for Monday include a trip to the library to return a book that is due, meal planning for the week, and more quilt mending!

How was your Sunday?  What are your plans for Monday?
