National Ice Cream Day 2012!!

The only thing I can think of that I'd rather celebrate than National Ice Cream Day is National Cotton Candy Day, but sadly, I don't think there is such a holiday.
So, I will just have to indulge in another favorite treat today and get back to thinking of cotton candy again tomorrow!
What is your favorite flavor -- do you plan on celebrating today?

Group Poem by Emily Dolenz

I've come across a wonderful photographer while browsing the internet, Emily Dolenz.  Emily posted a few lines of a poem and asked her followers to add a line and that she would complete the poem and post it on Facebook.  It is truly lovely and wanted to share it.

Candy Cotton Summer

Sugar cotton candy lands that melt in the salty sky,

Butterflies that whisper honey sweet lullabies,

Candy canes and sugar canes fall from the willow trees,

Reminds me of childhood dreams and your loving whisper,

Oceans like a milk shake topped with delicate whipped cream,

Bees that buzz of sweetness hidden in treasure troves,

Golden birds whose wings are woven from petals of daffodils,

Kisses on the beach near playland in rye,

Candy apple dreams linger in my mind like summers sweetest kiss

Bluebirds, cardinals, and robins whistle replies so sweet,

Lightly float like butterfly wings held aloft by the delicate breeze,

Flowers dancing in the warm wind and smell of sugary treats to those whose nectar eat,

Sandy beige beaches, smooth as buttercream icing,

The sun upon my cheeks, like the kiss of an angel,

Lying in the grass, gazing at the clouds dancing in the sky,

Creamy licks of ice cream treats, listening as the whispy wind sighs,

Playful giggles of children nearby, remind me of innocence lost in time,

Wispy tops of dandelions, surf the warm soft breeze,

As the birds sing beautiful melodies,

Rich golden buttercups nestled in sunshine caress the very air,

Accept who I am now.
