“May you taste something sweet,” said Calliope.
“… have a twirl on your toes," added Thalia.
“and remember today is a gift.” Urania grinned. “That’s why it’s called the present.”
Words from Typist:
Yesterday…
My curiosity — and a desire to dive into a paper dish of handmade ice cream from the Frozen Frog — was satisfied. Yum! After lunch, my husband and I took a investigatory field trip to a land of dreamy, creamy delight. We met the owners — Sue and Ted. The pair is entrepreneur-ing with enthusiasm.
Followed by…
a ballet performance that awed my senses!
(not a drop of rain fell)
The dancer’s fluidity made Thalia long to give it a go…
as the music, costuming, choreography, and skill of execution gave Urania goosebumps…
and all the while Calliope drank in the feelings the artist’s conveyed.
Just as a reader brings their background and perception to what they read, last night’s audience co-danced with those on stage.
An inspired work today typist, drawist, paintist, writist! And let’s not forget nowist! I can’t imagine a better evening. Were the frosted animal cracker and biscotti inspired by, perhaps part of, Frozen Frog final touches?
Frozen Frog reminds me of a long ago incident. (A wee bit less wonderful than your evening.) En route to an anniversary getaway, a driver ran a stop sign in Apalachicola, FL. What unfolded could have been from 30 years earlier. 50’s. As that drama unfolded, the owner of Frog Level Bar approached us and offered passes for free drinks if we were so inclined. Returning later that evening (our car mostly survived) for dinner in the finest hotel/restaurant in town, we began our evening at Frog Level! A festive crowd had assembled so we shared in their high spirited mood - of frogs, rivers, mariners of old? Once finished with dinner @ the inn, well after sunset, we discovered the accident had realigned our headlights, almost to Frog Level! We drove very slowly back to our cottage rental. 🙃
So here’s a wish for a grand rest of your day, raindrops or no, and perhaps creative inspiration in the form best fitting you and the Muses!!
It sounds like the perfect late-summer day!
