If life hands you lemons........

Make Lemonade.
Then sell it to your neighbors who are kind enough to stop by and leave very generous tips!

The little entrepreneurs decided to sell the flowers we had gotten from the farm that day as well since we were leaving for Montana in two days and couldn't keep them anyway.  Ryker thought $3 was a good price, but Jessie gave him $5.

Did you pay for that lemonade your drinking?  Remember Mama doesn't have a job anymore kids.  Make some money!

Pretty much every neighbor we have and then some had already stopped, but these two did not want to shut down their stand.  I think they thought people would be back for more.  I was mowing the lawn and they had 3 cars backed up at one point.  Neighbor Dave showed up on his riding lawn mower.  The kids thought that was pretty funny.  At the end of the day, they had almost $20.  Not bad for 25 cents a glass.  We have some big tippers in our neighborhood.

When life hands you raspberries.......make hand cranked raspberry ice cream.  Then sneak off to the blueberry bushes and get a couple of those for your ice cream too.
It's a good thing our CSA owners think these two are cute and love that they are so "into" the farm because they had no problem busting into the blueberry area before we were allowed to pick them.  After they went and got some for their ice cream, Christie gave them a container and told them to pick as many as they could find ripe even though they were waiting to have enough for all the members at the same time.





Still picking on the way back to our car.
