The other day I once again bought a 5 lb. bag of lemons so I can use up all the extra eggs in the frig. These chickens are great layers. I will be making lemon sour cream loafs, lemon curd, etc... all my usual lemon favorites.Usually I have a problem using up a 5 lb. bag of lemons before they spoil but I solved that problem... Around Christmas I has a bunch of leftover lemons and google told me to chop them up and freeze them... Which I did.
I happen to enjoy my occasional gin and tonic and prefer it with lemon rather than lime. So now instead of dropping in ice cubes I drop in frozen lemons... Delicious! I suppose you could use them in lemonade also.. but a G&T is my favorite and I usually receive a bottle of Dry Fly gin for my birthday, mother's day, and Christmas.(some times for Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving also)
And it's snowing.....

Working on your lovely peacock feather is a great thing to do in your snowbound home.
Great idea for using the lemons and I like all of the things you said you were going to do with them.

Stitching in my pj's is my favourite way to spend a weekend - even if DH is home (teehee). I made some Meyer lemon ginger marmalade last month - to die for if you like marmalade. Your peacock tail is looking good already.
We haven't had many hunker down days this winter in Northern Indiana. It was supposed to be frigid and snowy in January but we got one week of it then warm and rain...I'll TAKE it. Your feathers are sure turning out nice. Lots of close work to that beading.

your tail is coming along beautiully, enjoy your beading session. Did not know about freezing lemons, what a good idea enjoy your G & T
Tail is looking great! It's snowing here also! A whole day of uninterrupted stitching!
Hunkering down in front of the fire - sounds like pure bliss. Being able to play with beads would just put the icing on the cake. Stay warm!
