Making Lemonade (or trying to…)

When my daughter asked me why I had put lemons in the branches of the not-yet-leafy tree in our front yard, I told her I was making lemonade.  I'm sure she (and the neighbors) thought I was a little crazy.
No, it's not even a citrus tree since we're a bit too far north for that.  So what the heck, right?  This was my response to a day when "life gave me lemons".  In other words – a disappointing kind of day.
I came home upset & trying to decide how (and whether) to talk
about it on my blog.  I like to keep things upbeat here and have
learned that when I'm stewing…probably not the best time to rant in
public.  In an effort to channel my frustration in a positive or
creative way, I grabbed the bag of lemons from the fridge and went
outside for a little photo shoot.
Update 5/4/10:  The thing that was bothering me…kind of fixed now.  Plus, now I have all these lemon photos that I really like.  🙂
