It’s hot. So. Very. Hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I live in a desert. I know. Quit my complaining. But I am better suited for something a little more temperate. Oh, who am I kidding. I’m better suited to someplace cold. But, to be honest, we’re headed off to spend a good bit of the summer in Michigan, so I really should just count my blessings. Except right now there are about 108 reasons to hate life and I’m singularly focused on all of them. All 108 really hot, miserable reasons! Unless, of course, I make lemonade. In that case, I can and will sit happily under the AC vents sipping this most delicious beverage….counting the days until we’re outta here. I know it’s been hot pretty much everywhere, so make this. It’s cool. Enjoy!

This looks cool and refreshing!! Wonder if my girls would like it?? They are not soda drinkers at all??
Nan, we don’t drink any soda here, either. But the sparkling water just has fizz…no flavor. Kat loved it!! The lemonade and the pureed strawberries really tone down the carbonation, too. I think they’d like it.
