Malinda @countrysidecravings says
Wow!! I would never thought of a lemon smoothie. This will be super great on those hot days where you need something light and refreshing as a picker-upper. I hear ya on the nice days not getting anything done!! We have been having endless rainy days here in Colorado and so when the sun is finally out and it is halfway warm we are out all day long!! And yes many things I had planned on making get pushed aside, but oh well!
