When life gives you moldly lemons,

DON'T MAKE LEMONADE!

Instead, throw those lemons into the woods, and before long,

you’ll have a grove of lemon trees!

    Exactly and fun. The lemons and oranges I find in the woods are interesting and intense. Interesting because at one point a grove was nearby. Intense because usually they have strongly tart taste

    Such a clever metaphor! Turning moldy lemons into a whole grove speaks to resilience and creativity in a fun, compact way.

    Pure wisdom! Lol 🍋

    Great idea, although somebody may eat them moldy lolol and spread the lemon love far and wide, and then everyone can enjoy lemons! 🍋🍋
