MILTON - About 100 yards south of the Milton Transfer station on Route 125 you'll find a couple of young entrepreneurs operating a lemonade stand every weekend.
The lemonade is absolutely delicious, but if your glass gets a blueberry or two in it, seven-year-old Azaleah Purrington and her brother, six-year-old Russell, both agree it's not only delicious, but also a sign of good fortune coming your way.
"It's good luck," said Russell, who spent much of his time on Friday spinning and waving his lemonade sign to passing cars and motorcycles.

Meanwhile, Azaleah stood behind the lemonade stand ready to give customers a generous pour of delicious and refreshing lemonade.
The pair were proud to announce that they took in $65 last weekend and more than $100 so far this summer.
But the money they're making is not for some idle purpose; they actually have a summer bucket list inside the cash drawer that names the things they're hoping to do before school starts in September.
Among the desired outcomes are trips to Squam Lake, the Children's Museum in Dover, McKenzie's Farm of Milton and York Beach. Also looking to pay it forward, they intend to donate a portion of their earnings to a local dog shelter.
