Lemonade
by Rebecca Kai Dotlich)

We pour
its liquid sweetness
from a tall
glass pitcher,



splashing
sunshine
on frosty squares
of ice,


lemon light
and slightly tart,
we gulp its gold --
licking our lips
with summer.


"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."  James 1:17

We have been enjoying at lot of fresh limeade lately because limes have been 10 for $1 at our new little store!
I love what tart lemons do to kiddos faces:)
