~Ethiopian Proverb
Hi y'all! There are a lot of "if life hands you lemons, make lemonade" variants, but I decided to go with the proverb.
The weather is still unpleasantly hot here and I am still working my way through the 18 lemons I accidentally bought the other week. In lemonade's honor, here's Art Thursday:

Lovely illustrations/paintings of lemons. Isn't it interesting how the eye "colors" the lemon yellow in the drawing by David Blair. (At least mine did.)
Whenever I hear the "if life hands you lemons..." saying, I always add "but ask life to pass the sugar." :-)
