When life gives you lemons

I had no idea how satisfying having a lemon tree would be. In Spain they symbolise abundance, prosperity and purification. They are believed to bring positive energy, good luck and a sense of freshness to surroundings. I'll take any one of those qualities all day long. It is also really gorgeous to look at, the bright yellow against the strong green leaves and blue sky just makes me smile. And lemons seem to be everywhere this Summer, from pretty dresses to dinner plates to candles and bag charms. What’s not to love.
