Yep- I'm guessing 500 lemons a year from my tree.

Check this out- its easy!

Lemonade

Combine 2 cups water + 2 cups sugar in a pyrex bowl or a saucepan, 
either nuke for four minutes (bowl) or stir over stove (saucepan)
until all sugar dissolves into 'simple syrup'.

Juice enough lemons for 2 cups of juice.

Fill a one gallon pitcher about 1/3 full of ice cubes.

Pour the simple syrup over the ice cubes. Stir until the liquid is 
cold (this cooling of the syrup prevents destroying the vitamin C in 
the lemon juice)

Fill the gallon picher the rest of the way with the lemon juice and 
water, stirring 50-100 times.

I drink a lot of lemonade fresh off the tree this way! 
Also 'invented' a 'Tequila Moonrise' with 2 shots good tequila, dash 
of bitters, and lemonade. Awesome refreshment!
