    Who needs summer for fresh squeezed lemonade!!! This is the first time I’ve ever made my own… it smells fantastic, just waiting for it to chill but I must say my kids have a new respect for me watching me hand squeeze all those lemons. However I did let my daughter know that it is in my best interest to invest in a juicer in the new year 🙂
