As you can see, it's hot, so the puppy and I are looking for ways to stay cool.
Neely will beg by the front door to go out, and the two of us step out into the oven that is Austin in the middle of the summer. She immediately looks at me, her expression reading, "What were we thinking?" She'll prance across the hot pavement, pull me to the grass, then race back to our air conditioned domain.
It stands to reason that my favorite things right now are frozen.
I'm loving the snow cone stand around the corner, frozen yogurt shops all around the neighborhood, frozen vegetables, and my favorite: frozen fruit.
I love coming home from work to a handful of frozen green grapes. I pick the soft grapes from the vine immediately after coming home from the grocery store and pop them into a plastic container in my freezer. After a few hours, they're icy cold, pop when you bite into them, but are like creamy bites of ice cream inside. Delicious. Neely loves them too!
But since today is Friday and I'm feeling a little celebratory, I'm going to go to Bananarchy to get a frozen vanilla granola banana. I could do it myself (by dipping a banana in vanilla yogurt), but I'd rather not wait for it to freeze! Then I'm going to curl up with my dog, watch a certain beloved old movie, and wait for my brother and his wife to come down for a visit.
Have a great weekend.
