We all scream for ice cream




This was a recent scene in front of our house that I felt fortunate to capture on video. I wonder if it will tug at your heart the way it did mine.





Miracle Ice Cream
~by Adrienne Rich

Miracle's truck comes down the little avenue,
Scott Joplin ragtime strewn behind it like pearls,
and, yes, you can feel happy
with one piece of your heart.

Take what's still given: in a room's rich shadow
a woman's breasts swinging lightly as she bends.
Early now the pearl of dusk dissolves.
Late, you sit weighing the evening news,
fast-food miracles, ghostly revolutions,
the rest of your heart.

    Good one Lydia! I especially liked the music through the whole thing, and the kitty. And the way you made sure Serena (is that right?) had some change for her treat. Isn't life good?

    Amy~ That's great you enjoyed the post. I appreciate your appreciation! Yes, Serena....we've watched her grow since she was three, and she sure is a sweet girl. And yes, life can be awfully good at times. :)

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
