A most busy few days

I hope your ice cream trucks play better music than ours. Ours wanders around the neighborhood playing the first few bars of 'Polly Wolly Doodle' until Uncle A and I put soundproofing spells up in defense of our sanity.

But the toasted-almond-crunch bars are pretty good.

[secretarybird]

I did not notice that this one played music; but it was stationary, by a beach. Perhaps it makes noise as it drives.

Toasted almond crunch sounds marvelous.

[courtneycrumrin]

That's usually how they work. Don't feel bad for missing the music. It's not usually worth catching.

Sometimes I like almond and caramel-y flavors better than chocolate.

[secretarybird]

I don't especially love chocolate. I like it, but I do not understand the fascination.

[courtneycrumrin]

Sometimes, you just have to have it. But maybe that's a girl thing.

I like fruit and honey just as much, though. Actually, I'm okay with anythign sweet that doesn't taste too artificial.

[secretarybird]

Some of the artificial flavors baffle me. I could write a much more convincing cherry than cherry-candy flavor.

[secretarybird]

...but I should not boast of it.

[courtneycrumrin]

Aw, you're allowed.

[courtneycrumrin]

Hee. What about blackberry? I like blackberry flavor.

[secretarybird]

You know, I don't think I've had either blackberries or artificial blackberry flavoring. I tried a tea once, with blackberry, but it was a black tea and tasted most strongly of--tea.

[mercurialnature]

They're almost as good as strawberries.

[secretarybird]

Praise indeed!

[courtneycrumrin]

Should I pick some for you, too, Hermes?

[courtneycrumrin]

They'll be coming in season here very soon. I'll pick some fresh ones and send them to you.

[secretarybird]

Huu! Thank you! Are they difficult to find?

[courtneycrumrin]

Not really, no. Sometimes you have to fight off wasps and deer for them, but that's no big deal.
