On my way to work this AM I realized I could take very daring shots of the roads I travel. I go up and down hills, alot. And most days, I don't come upon anyone for about 20 minutes. I love driving these roads. The endless lining of trees creates a feeling of wonderment -- could this be the turn which brings me to my next road? Not generally, but I can hope! Or, could there be a little store that I might want to visit? Ok, so while on the way to work, this doesn't happen. While traveling from the farmer's market - where I can purchase locally raised organic meat! - it happened.
I had visited the library - got the book club read "All Creatures Great and Small" even though they are meeting on Friday. I stopped at 3 markets for food and was traveling home. I knew the road I was going to take brought me past Carolyn Orchards that had to die for Ranier Cherries. I sadly had forgotten that it also past by Hoffman's Ice Cream. I whipped right into the parking lot upon seeing their sign. As an ice cream maker, I get a little picky -- this was awesome!!! Smooth, creamy, going to melt fast without any preservatives. I had Peach. Delish!!! When you visit me, we'll have to make a trip! Check them out here: www.hoffmansicecream.com
Here's another photo of roads much travelled these days. Just think what they'll look like in the fall. I can't wait.
Will get photos of my cottage up once I get it situated. I'm a little bit prideful regardless of what Lauren Winner says in Mudhouse Sabbath.

Thank you! I'm making peach ice cream next week with my mom. YUM!
When we lived in MA, there was a similar ice cream shop a couple towns from us. It was made from an old barn with the dairy farm right next to it. So you knew where the cream came from. It was a special day when we headed that way.
Next time pull over the side of the road and take a picture. DO NOT take one while you are driving again or you will have to move back to Florida. Do you understand me young lady. GOOD.
