The 'Ice Cream' Season

I love serving and eating ice cream; don't you? What is there not to love?
So many flavors! Which ones are my favorites? I love the nutty ice creams;
Butter pecan, with lots of large pecan pieces, butter almond, pistaccio,etc.
I enjoy the fruit flavors,too. Strawberry, black cherry, pineapple. There
are not too many flavors that I don't favor.  Add a gourmet touch to your dish of ice cream
combining it with the wonderful,creamy taste of Watkins Cinna-Cream sprinkles!  Smooth!

However, black walnut is my favorite flavor of all time! Rum raisin comes a close second. I'll take any one, or two or three of those ice cream scoops piled high on a waffle-sugar cone, and POP! I've made it to Ice Cream Paradise!
I can begin, center, or end my perfect summer day on that cool note! Yea!!
for ice cream!!

Picking Peas (From Our Garden)

I finished picking a batch of peas from the garden. It can become back-breaking work, if I allow it to. I know how and when to stand up straight and relax my back. I also know when to stop and finish the chore later.
The ants can be a drag. They seem to love the rows of peas, and they are
constantly crawling and stinging. Boy, are they irritating! But, I have
learned to ignore them and get on with the task.

When I zoom in on the work at hand, I realize that I am almost finished. We
give away a picking of peas, then we keep the next batch. That's the way it goes. When it's done this way, everyone's happy, and the peas just keeps on
bearing. The more we share, the more there is to share. I also enjoy working
in the garden. It relaxes and de-stresses me. I become one with Nature!
