Lilacs and Icecream

The weather has again gotten more seasonable and yesterday and today were both very nice. I am so happy not to be shivering! I was logged in to the forum and Dillon (my dog) wanted to go out. So we went outside and it is just gorgeous out...even if it is close to 10 pm. I sat on the patio and the breeze blew the scent of the lilacs to me and it is so peaceful and quiet outside. Everyone is inside their houses and I sat quietly in the dark and breathed in the lilacs. I love lilacs, the scent is simply one of my favorite things in the world. I only regret my bedroom is on the opposite side of the house...I would dearly love to have that scented breeze blow into my room while I sleep.
Now to the icecream part...I haven't had any icecream in ages, due to the neverending battle with the size of my butt. Yesterday, I went grocery shopping and saw that the Edy's Grand icecream was on sale. I looked at it...sitting there all smug inside the freezer case. Yes, that's right, smug. As if these half gallons of frozen confection were so superior to me, as if they were laughing and chanting "ha ha, we are safe, because your butt is too big...ha ha." Well, let it not be said that I will be bested by frozen milk, cream, sugar and flavorings. I girded my, well, whatever it is you actually gird to go into battle, reached in to the case and captured my prize...a half gallon of Butter Pecan.
I settle into my chair after coming inside with a nice (portion controlled) bowl of sweet victory. Now who's laughing?![]()
