Life requires cream and sugar

I often forget how much I love summer and the sunshine until it is gone and I am frozen, hoping my winter boots won't let in the snowy sleet and the windchill doesn't end me. So we've been trying, even on work days when it seems impossible, to go on tiny little outings while it's still daylight, just to get out of the proverbial cubicle for a little while and catch some rays/time to relax while it's warm and oh so nice out.Our mid-week adventure was to the Dairy Barn - not to be confused with the proliferated Dair Queen or even the S-D favorite ice cream shop in our town, Daddy's Dairy. The Dairy Barn specializes in soft serve yogurts and gelati, as well as a variety of cookies and fruits all dunked in chocolate and dazzled in sprinkles.S opted for the ever class hot fudge sundae while I indulged in a coffee/raspberry twist that both S and I agreed was "very fruity."After our mini-date out for ice cream, we headed to the library, where we rented Quarantine, a ridiculous but entertaining horror movie about a rabies-like virus threatening the lives of a D-list film crew, and I checked out The Productivity Handbook, which I admit I have only gotten through 4 pages of. Perhaps high-stress weeks at work aren't exactly the time for that kind of reading? But they are exactly the time for ice cream!
