Ever heard that saying, ‘when life hands you lemons, make lemonade?" I couldn’t help but to think of that and smile rather than focus on the negative in this situation.
In the middle of our home renovation, a previously undiscovered old septic tank revealed itself… in the form of a gigantic hole in what was once my beautifully manicured, lush grass.
Nothing to do, we broke up the concrete and filled in the hole with dirt. I’ll have to wait to seed or sod the space… until the renovation is finished or until the fall when the best time to grow grass may be.
And so, now my front yard consists of a filled in dirt hole. The kids and I went out to play in the yard as we do on many hot summer days. Instead of being able to run and play in the grass… we had mud. Lots of mud.
And that’s when that whole, ‘lemon to lemonade’ quote came to mind. And so, when life hands you dirt, …. throw some water on it and play in the mud!
Good Times.
