Lizard and Lemonade

Today I made pink lemon/limeade from scratch.  I made lemon simple syrup (sugar, water, and lemon zest simmered a few minutes), strained it and added fresh-squeezed lemon and lime juice, water, and a little cranberry juice.  Pour over ice, lemon/lime slices, and fresh mint leaves.  (Add gin as desired.)

 

I got up close to a baby skink who was stranded in the empty baby pool, and rescued her.  She conveniently matches the décor!  This was my closest encounter yet.
