Our lemon tree finally has tons of ripe lemons.
And when life gives you lemons…
…you gotta make lemonade!
It was delicious!
Now we are just waiting for our avocados to ripen so that we can use some of these lemons and make some guacamole!
By the way, the persimmons (our neighbor’s tree) are also ripe. Anybody have a good recipe for them?
Today I’m thankful for our health. A few times yesterday I sent up a little prayer of thanks for our healthy, strong bodies.
I was talking to my mom while A. was climbing all over me and jumping on and then off again, and I called her a “little monkey!” My mom reminded me that I would much rather have her be a “monkey” than not be able to run, climb or jump at all. And it is so true. Besides a few cuts and bruises, our trip to the ER, some colds and an ear infection here or there, the girls are really both incredibly healthy.
I also visited the doctor yesterday for a check-up since I hadn’t seen a doctor since my six-week checkup after I had A. Yeah, yeah, yeah – I know that was over two years ago. But I got a full checkup and apparently, at least until all the tests come back, I am just fine. I realized that I really need to take care of myself because the girls really depend on me. I need to be here to watch them, and help them, grow up.
So today, that is what I am thankful for.
