Lemonade and Osage Oranges

I  bought this lovely pitcher with hand painted lemons on it at a yard sale a couple of weeks ago  ( $5)  

I was using it to make H and I some lemonade to have with lunch and........one thing led to another and before I knew it......I had drug out all my lemon stuff and did an vignette on the kitchen counter.   You all know how much  I love to play with dishes!

My lemon welcome sign came from HL's 90% isle as did the easy lemon sign in the next photo.

I used my mother's vintage lemon juicers to make my lemonade....

When H and I were going around to some yard sales on Saturday,  we spotted  these green nubby fruits laying under a tree along side a country  road.

I didn't know what they were at the time,  but they looked interesting,  so we picked a couple of them up

 When I googled "green nubby fruit",      images of my fruit popped up.    The info on them said they are called Osage Oranges  or  Hedge Apples.      99% of the reviews said they are not edible.    Some of the comments said they could be cut up and placed around the foundation  of your home to deter roaches and spiders.  Who knew!!!    

The area I found them in was so beautiful......

Rolling hills and gorgeous country homes.

If you noticed that my lemonade had a milky look  it's because I use condensed milk to sweeten it.......makes it really yummy.

  Lemonade anyone?
