I’ve always loved lemons, and ever since I named my blog after lemons, I’ve loved them even more. Sour tastes can be so good, and then being able to take something that is sour and making it sweet seems like a miracle. It’s like the soft version of making water into wine. Lemonade, lemon drops, lemon meringue pie; all delicious things coming from something so sour! Lemons suit me and my story of becoming a mother after cancer.
For the past couple of weeks, we have been visiting my sister in California, and she has her very own lemon tree growing on her patio! We spent the first full day of our visit picking lemons, hiking on the Lemon Grove Loop Trail in San Luis Obispo, and making fresh lemonade. I was in lemon heaven!
Lemons!
Aww, looked like such a wonderful and fun trip. And so glad you got to go and enjoy it, too. And as for lemons, I have always loved them even as a kid and even used to eat them right from the rind – crazy as it sounds that sour taste was always such a great one to me! 🙂

Never been too sure about lemons. Although I do love lemonade! Never had the home-made version though, only the store bought ones. Which probably don’t have that many lemons in them as I would like to think!

Lemons are so very you!
They are magical and versatile. And the smell is one of the best smells out there!

Ginny, looks like you and your sis are enjoying each other as only sisters do. As you daughters will someday, too.
Mmmmm! I do love lemon squares and cool, refreshing lemonade! That lemon tree doesn’t look big enough to have produced all those beautiful lemons.

Sounds like a wonderful getaway. If you ever miss the lemon tree, you can visit the one on my front porch.

I love lemons too! The look, the smell and the taste! Lemon cookies are my very favorite and I love lemondade too. Glad you are having a nice visit here in Cali!
