even though it was pouring snow on monday, the high today is 72 and i’m simply sprung about spring!  yes, enough to where i even made some hand squeezed lemonade, yum.

recipe:

1 cup of lemon juice

1 cup of sugar (i put a dash more, i like mine sweet!)

the squeeze of one lime

6 cups of cool water

stir until the sugar has dissolved, kick back, and relax!

today was also the first day that i was able to pick flowers from my yard, a splash of homegrown yellow goes a long way!

when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! today i am so excited to post a freebie of  lemonade goodies provided by the lovely  Christy from Farouche.  her work has always inspired me, and these cute downloadables are making me want to throw a summer get together!  i even made homemade lemonade last night- just because she put me in the mood.

the above version is more for the adult get together- but she also designed a more kid-friendly version below..so thoughtful..
