When Life Gives You Lemons...

Well if you are an artist you take those lemons and turn it into a painting.  This is the first of a series I plan to create.  My dear Husband has been grocery shopping and surprised me with a bag full. 

I hope you will have the same feelings that my daughter in law had when she saw it for the first time.  Her comment was so well put that I will share it with you.  She said "You know how when you get a taste of a lemon and your saliva comes from underneath your tongue and it feels hot.....Yeah, just got that."

 Those of you that have known me for years know I have always been a big fan of Yellow.  Lemons are the yellow that I like in my kitchen.  They remind me of a bright Sunshiny Day.  In fact, I believe my Mom has a photograph that my Dad took of me when I was very young with a cut lemon that I was eating.  Even thought it was in Black& White it still make me think of Sunshine and Happiness.  That is what Lemons mean to me.  Let me know if you have a favorite lemon story or photograph.  Sorry the cute photo of the babies with the "Lemon face" is out of my artistic repertoire. However, if you have others please share them with me at mdtucker1975@embarqmail.com.
