Yesterday was one. of. those. days. When I awoke to rain, I thought the day might not go as planned, but it literally zigged when I wanted to zag. Lemons, if you know what I mean!
But, with age does come a little patience…and when one thing didn’t work, I tried another. And, when something fell through, I planned something else. And, yes….it turned into a lemonade type of day!
So, for anyone out there who feels they’ve been handed a bag of lemons, squeeze them in some water or mix them with some sugar and ice and drown those sorrows. Wash away the sour taste.
And don’t forget to make it “pretty“!!
Have you had lemons or lemonade lately? Wishing you a SWEET weekend!!!

Don't you love when you can make lemonade out of those kinds of days….gorgeous images and adore paper straws!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend for of lemonade ~
Good morning, Elizabeth…sorry you had "one of those days" but at least you were able to turn it around. I have had a few setbacks lately but I also am trying to find the silver lining. This post was beautiful…I love lemons!
Enjoy your weekend!!! xoxo
I loved zagging and drinking lemonade with you yesterday! xo
Doesn't "making it pretty" turn some of they grayest days around? I love your attitude, Elizabeth! Hope this weekend brings nothing but lemonade, sweetness and sunshine! xoxo
Your suggestion to be sure to make it pretty certainly panned out! Those glasses of lemonade are gorgeous! It is very unfortunate that I am allergic to lemons, but I do love them and give away tonnes of lemons to people from my tree. I only wish I could indulge in the many treats that lemons potentially have to offer. Oh well, they also make beautiful arrangements.
Your photo looks so refreshing I may have to make some today. It's going to be in the triple digits here in Texas today.
When our days are out of sync, appts rescheduled, and your friend has an emergency ….I make lemons into lemonade as well! Great attitude!

Hope things are getting better! XO
And at the end of the day if there is any lemonade left, add a little bourbon, an orange twist, and a cherry and put it in a pretty glass. Prop your feet up and enjoy. Might make you glad that you had a lemonade day!!
Elizabeth the lemonade looks so fresh and I love the straws! Sorry have been missing but am now in France and will be doing some nice posts! I hope you have a lovely weekend!
best wishes

Perfect post for my week. Air condition went out (103 temp in Texas) then car battery died then my son lost his cell phone. But you are right i never realized how composed I was since in the past I would be screaming and stressed. Age has calmed me (thank goodness) All was repaired $$$ but life goes on and I did have a glass of wine yesterday to unwind with a good meal. Love the first photo of lemons….I have for the first time a lemon tree and I cannot wait for the fruit to turn yellow…that I am impatient about!!! Have a great weekend.
When life hands me lemons I just think about how sweet the next blessing will be. 🙂 love all these photos and inspiration. Xo
that was my day today!!! i was zigging and zagging!
you always make it pretty! Glad your lemon-y day turned sweet.
