Lemon Vanilla

After being reassured by a reliable source that being this tired means I should just rest, I opted not to go hiking in the hills, but rather to go directly home with one short stop at Ici.  There was no line.  I practically walked right in!  I was very enticed by 'honey lavender' and 'saffron almond ice milk.'  I tasted them.  Delicious.  Subtle.  Unique. But what can I do?  I am a creature of habit.  So, I happily ordered one scoop of lemon vanilla in a handmade cone.  Oh, lemon vanilla.  I cannot express to you the way I feel.  No one was on the bench outside.  I sat down, and ate my whole cone with only one thought in my head:  this is the thing, the only thing for me, in this moment.
