Its All In the Mix

When the game of life, throws that, lemony curve ball; you have no choice but to stop and make… lemonade. Everyone’s been there, at some point. No degree or miracle will cure all ills; it takes a clever and hopeful outlook; to stir the sour liquid. A little time spent in exploration and positive thought; will produce a much, sweeter drink.

I like them apples, M.L. Good imaginative stuff. The last three lines of the first group are priceless. As a school teacher I used to ask a kid with a bad look,"Did you have vinegar on your pancakes this morning." This usually pissed him off even more. Love, daver

Yes, there are...try this one first: http://www.almanac.com/content/dandelion-recipes-wonderful-edible-weed Dandelion tea has a slightly bitter, earthy taste, but with lemon and agave necter, it's wonderful. Any salad with the leaves, makes for a very nutritious meal.

M.L., I loved this, the knowledge of just knowing, the game of life, hits us all, with a lemon stand. Makes, me grab bags of sugar. :):) :) and yes, I've been, more than one or 10 times... Let me put it to you this way, my skin tastes like lemon by now. Love and enjoyed...LINDA

Thank you, I don't think it was intended...it just flowed out of me. I love it when that happens. Thanks for reading and commenting.
