There are some old sayings that are pretty good reminders for life. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade… The early bird catches the worm… A penny saved is a penny earned… The grass is always greener on the other side… Even though we sometimes realize that the grass on the other side isn’t that different from the grass where we are, these two donkeys sure do think the grass on the other side is worth reaching for.

Planting a garden is something we do every summer, but this year we really got into it and spent more time and effort to maintain our small patch of urban farmland. When I saw Helen’s “When Life Gives You Lemons”, I chuckled and thought, “Around here it's ‘When life hands you tomatoes.’” We grew three varieties: Early Girl, Roma, and Cherry Tomatoes. There are so many things that tomatoes can be used for, but we prefer a plain old tomato sandwich with lots of mayonnaise...summer comfort food. Much needed these days!

Sara Harley: A Lemonade Day

Recently I was in a morning funk, feeling down and out of sorts. I was tempted to cancel my daily walk routine, but my four legged walking partner kept checking in with me so we headed out. It didn't take long...about 10 minutes of walking down the trail...before I stopped brooding and started to look at the beautiful nature around me. I felt happy, and the yellow wild tansy seemed to echo my lifting spirits. It was a lemonade day.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!!

 Although it is easier to say when you're not facing some of life's lemons, it's a good philosophy to remember.
