Lilacs and Lemons

It's that beautiful time of year when the sun flits in and out of the clouds like a bird and flowers are in bloom absolutely everywhere you turn.  Beauty is all around yet in the midst there are the unwanted things of life. The spiders, the bees, the sour lemons. Whoever said, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade," failed to mention that sometimes you have to learn to create the recipe from your own heart and tastes. So much easier said than done!

Today I attempted to make lilac lemonade, yesterday it was a chocolate cake with lilac buttercream. Neither were failures, but neither were what I wanted. Sigh. One day I'll be drinking homemade lilac lemonade with my eyes closed soaking up the sun, but today I'm still figuring out the recipe, but even that is a lovely sight - no?
