Cherries In The Snow

I want to be very, very lazy.  Thoughts of DIY'ing or anything requiring physical exertion have as much appeal to me at the moment as sitting in a sauna wearing a wool coat.  Although, come to think of it, that's how I feel right now.  The news has been talking about "record high" temperatures.  It's not the heat I mind so much, it's the heavy, pea soup like humidity.  So I need to think of cool things like snowflakes against an aqua sky and cherries in a field of snow or cherries on ice.


Even the word "aqua" has connotations of liquid coolness.


Cherries embedded in ice, a burst of sweetness in the midst of icy cool water, is just the thing.


Or a trail of cherries in the snow...


A snowball fight or two.


And I shall serve up vanilla ice cream garnished with cherries for dinner mounded up on snowy white plates because it is the only thing to eat at times like this.


Sigh...I feel better already.  Ice cream really is the cure for everything.  What is your favourite hot weather rescue? Let me know so we can cool down together!

Love your refreshing idea. Hopped over from Marty's TTT. Had to come see when I saw the snowflake dish. I just bought the exact one at a thrift store today. My kitchen is done in red, tqs. and green. It was quite dirty, but hoping I can give it a good cleaning. Just couldn't pass it up. Too cute! Not only do we have the same dish, but I bought cherries at a stand today. How funny is that? Great minds think alike! LOL!
