The best of summer is...
A) Me yesterday, sitting on the grass with my dog, enjoying a cold pink lemonade sno-cone and a hot frito pie from the sno-cone stand. One of my goals for this summer is to try as many flavors of sno-cones as I can, except for the ones I obviously won't like, like hot tamale and wedding cake. (Bleh!) The pink lemonade one was very good, "not too sweet, not to sour," as they say in The Sound of Music.
B) Me earlier today, riding my bike in the cool of evening, after watching an awesome old episode of NCIS, to some big blackberry bushes conveniently located half a mile from my apartment (according to Google maps). The blackberries were so big and juicy and delicious, and much sweeter than
mulberries, although I like those too. But picking season is pretty much over for the mulberry trees.
Oh, and some news from the world of young actresses (heh, I say this to my sister pretty frequently, like, "News from the world of young actresses: Elle Fanning is now taller than Dakota!" and she tells me news from the world of names) is that Isabelle Fuhrman didn't get nominated for an MTV movie award! *sad*
