SUMMER’S HERE....July 23rd



Days come, days go!  They just mesh one into the next.  I wrote the JULY piece about being quarantined and needing stuff from the store; clothes to wear around the house as what I have is starting to wear out. It’s just a lighthearted piece.  
With today as National Vanilla Ice Cream Day, I write an acrostic piece spelling out VANILLA ICE CREAM about ice cream. I remember my grandmother making ice cream.  It was always a vanilla flavor probably why that’s still my favorite today.  Of course it’s French Vanilla or French Vanilla Bean.  The other piece tells it like it is.  Don’t care if the ice cream is in a cone or bowl; it’s ice cream to me.  
Again I’m up at six.  Why don’t know.  Yesterday I decided to wear my Bitch bonnet when I ventured out.  It was funny.  My neighbor asked me about it. I told her if the hat fits I wear it.  She laughed.  Seems I’ve been trying to celebrate the wacky holidays as something to do right now.  It really depends on what is celebrated that day.  
Today is National Vanilla Ice Cream Day....enjoy a cone or bowl of ice cream. 
Until next time....have a good day.

       July 23rd....DAILY REFLECTIONS 

Another morning up at six....at least coffee 
     awaits me....it’s going to be a three cup.  
          morning 

Yesterday my big day out bringing in trash 
       bin....ended up wearing Bitch  
         bonnet....my neighbor saw me and 
           asked why the hat...I said if the hats 
               fits I wear it

Today I’ll celebrating one of the 
    weird/wacky holidays again....during 
       these quarantine days I look forward to 
           them

  Just another day of quarantine....tired of 
        being housebound 

Unless I get daring and go out to do a bit of 
      shopping....want to purchase for a few 
       clothing items to wear at home 
  
Let don’t forget the list of needed 
   wears....sleep wear, loungewear, day      
         wear, underwear 

Yard wear (aka shorts and tee shirts)....for 
        sitting outside on cooler 
         evenings....need to dress up in case 
                I’m seen

Various flavors to choose....such a hard 
          decision 
Always a dilemma when standing at the 
      store freezer....which to purchase
Neapolitan is a sure thing....always a         
         second favorite of mine 
It provides three flavors....chocolate, 
       strawberry and vanilla
Low fat for calorie counters....sugar free for     
            others 
Let me go all out....give me the real stuff 
As I forget calories today....I’m celebrating 

 It is National Vanilla Ice Cream Day....I revel 
       in the excitement 
Can’t ever pass up any chance for 
    merriment....need to let go once in awhile
Especially during these pandemic 
      times....when quarantined at home 

Cone with a scoop or two....a bowl is 
       perfect 
Really doesn’t matter....it’s all ice cream to 
       me
Enjoying vanilla ice cream on a warm 
        summer day....my favorite flavor 
As I sit on the porch swing....reminiscing of 
       childhood days 
Memories of making ice cream with my 
    grandmother....always vanilla flavored of 
            course

Hankering for a tasty cone 
   with three scoops of ice cream
Make it one of my favorite flavors 
     which is French Vanilla Bean

But if that flavor is not available 
   any others will do the trick
Just put it in a wafer cone 
   I don’t care which one you pick

Except....pistachio
