When your mother-in-law gives you lemons . . .

Jim's parents have a lemon tree and every year they share! I think that I am the only one who actually asks for any lemons and by so doing, end up with about 100. I use about six over a weeks time to squeeze in my diet coke and then about another 6 to make lemon bars and unfortunately the rest go to waste. Oh waite, my boys have lemon wars so it's not a total waste. Well this year I was determined not to waste one lemon so JJ and I spent one whole Saturday juicing lots and lots of lemons. We got enough juice to make about 10 pitchers of fresh lemonade. But during the spring ice/wind/snow storms we didn't seem to have much use for fresh lemonade. So we froze the juice. I can't wait for summer when I can sit on my front porch and sip the fruits of our labor!

These are the conditions that Savannah played her softball game in yesterday. As you can see, I am safe inside my car. (see my hood in the picture?) Savannah claims the wind was the reason they lost to RV. She claims it was the wind that carried RV's hits up and over the fence for out-of-the-park homeruns (twice) and caused one of their hits to bounce over the fence for a ground rule double. Funny, the wind didn't help St. Johns at all. :) This morning Savannah was still trying to unpack the dirt from her eyes.
