Yesteryear mixed dulcet days with bitterly sour moments. Zesty and tart as lemons, but tempered with honeyed memories. This year, I will only journey through sweet orange orchards.

They're good for soothing the throat, but sometimes the sour outweighs the sweet and causes a whole new body ache. Thanks, Terry, and all the best to you.
