I have a cute Mary Engelbreit print with this quote. ‘Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles. It empties today of its strength.’
A garden is a gift from God.
My favorite saying of late is “It is what it is!”. You can’t change life as it happens so, “Enjoy the Ride!”
The lemon quote is my favorite! Maybe cause my last name is Lemon! 🍋
Choose Joy
Lemons are great for a lot of things, so enjoy life to the fullest and have some lemonade as well!
Use it up, wear it out,
Make it do, or do without.
No matter where you go there you are!

If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. (“Bambi”, Thumper’s Mom)
This is a very appropriate saying for all of us who have been thru the BIG fires in the Texas panhandle, OK and KS. It is a very hard thing to swallow, but those of us that are dealing with the devastation know how to make lemonade – Thank you and I hope one of us from this area receives the sign.

When God closes a door, somewhere He opens a window!
Time heals all wounds and stupidity.
“Choose happiness”
Little drops of water, little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land
Little deeds of kindness, little words of love
Help to make the earth happy like the Heaven above
~ My grandmother would say this to me all the time to remind me to be kind.
“Wouldn’t it be great if ‘Doing the Hokey Pokey’ was really what is was all about?”
I like this!
My mother-in-law always use to quote this when I whined about something. ” This too shall pass”. I now quote this to my grown children when they are facing frusterations and difficulties.
Thanks Mary Jane for your generosity!
This has been my life’s motto for so many, many years: “Create a little magic and share it.” A higher self gave that to me as I was waking one morning when I was young.
At the end of the water
A red sun is risin’
And the stars are all goin’ away
And if you’re too busy talkin’
You’re not busy listenin’
To hear what the land has to say
Quiet your mind.” – Zac Brown
Let go ….. Let God!
I love this sign and what it says. It is absolutely so true! You can take a sour or what seems to be a difficult situation and make it through with The Lord’s help and turn it into something good and oh sooo sweet! 🙂
I am a huge fan of lemons and the color yellow! It represents sunshine and happiness to me.
Besides that, the sign sure would look so cute in my kitchen! 🙂
I absolutely love Mary Jane’s Farm magazine and everything in it.
It is filled with some great information and I absolutely love the recipes!

Along the same concept of making lemonade when life hands you lemons, a quote I’ve heard and repeated through the various trials in my 59 years,
“That which does not l kill me, only makes me stronger” – attributed in it’s various forms to Friedrich Nietzsche.
I have learned that life is most definitely a journey of growth and the growing pains that come with it but my oh my, the value in the lessons learned from those growing pains creates wisdom that can only come with time and experience.
I am what I am and not what others want me to be.
Seize the moment . . . Remember all those women on the Titantic who waved off the desert cart!!!
I love this quote about women. It is true now matter what path you take in life.
“A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.”

My husband and I have a small collection of rustic signs on our garage. It livens up the outdoor space and they are great conversation peices!
