Summertime signals splashes in the pool, running around with my hair up in a ponytail, and heat all around me. After a long day with the sun out, evening rolls around and I’m itching for something sweet and cool. Fruit alone in the winter is comfort and calming. But, for whatever reason, summer can’t be complete without ice cream and berries.
No longer in my twenties, though, I can’t gobble up three scoops of ice cream like I used to. I mean, I can technically. I have no problem putting it away if I’m on vacation somewhere, feeling carefree and dangerous.
Back at home, I have enough sense to know I can’t buy pints of Ben & Jerry’s without paying the piper (Although I do mourn my old fix of New York Super Fudge Chunk). So, I make up for the fat by throwing in a ton of my favorite summer treat: strawberries and blueberries.
Just seeing the strawberries lined up pretty and berry pink make me happy. And blueberries are now in season, so I don’t have to eat them for nutritional purposes. They’re more sweet than tart now.
I put a small scoop of ice cream in my glass bowl, just so it’ll melt ever so softly in the warm afterglow of a hot day. The windows are open and the breeze is just starting to come in.
So, when the warm evenings are still at a slow bake for the day, I unwind with a spoon full of berries and ice cream. And smile a summer smile.
