Where is everyone?

The Lemons are moving!

Well, next month.

I have so many ideas for future posts, new items for the shop, recipes and foodie chit-chat to explore.

But we are moving. In exactly three weeks. And nothing is packed, and we have some family obligations in the middle of it all.

So things shall be quiet around these parts until we are unpacked. So, 2020. Or August. We shall see.

I did get a few pictures of our visit to a u-pick berry farm in east Texas. We went out a few weeks ago to attend a Lemon family reunion. (The yellow and lemon paraphernalia abounded.)

Half-and-Half "Busy Day" Cake

Even though I said from day one of this blog that I'd only post here when time permitted, I still feel a bit guilty when more than a few days pass between posts. And when weeks start to go by, I feel compelled to do the only thing I can do: take a picture of my dessert and write something inspiring about it. That's interesting content, right?

Burnt Rhubarb Preserves, a Happy Mistake

I love the combination of strawberry and rhubarb. So when I saw some rhubarb at Sprout's last week, I grabbed four large stalks.

And those four stalks languished in the fridge for a week and started to get a little gooey at the ends.

Finding Health

Today I didn't eat anything made with refined sugar. Nothing.

I don't think so, anyway.

Movin' On Up

Mr. Lemon graduates on Monday. He will be an official Master of Arts. Wowza!

In all seriousness, he will receive his MA in English from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Goooo Roadrunners!

Sprucing Up the Kitchen Sink

Mr. Lemon and I like to believe that we have a pretty typical modern spousal relationship as far as household duties go. Heck, maybe we're even a little progressive when it comes to splitting chores.

The Blunder That Became a Giveaway

So you know when you're about to dive into a project and something nags at you and begs you to follow a certain method or take certain precautions to make sure you turn out a quality item?

And you know how sometimes you ignore that nagging feeling and just set off full speed ahead?

I know it, too. Two weeks ago, I dyed a couple of small girls tanks (the other one can be found here) and made a heart applique to stitch on the front.
