Hey there!  Guess what?  Yep, I’m still on my bloggy break!  Go me!  Don’t worry though; I have you covered!  I’ve got another great Guest Blogger for you today and something tells me you are really going to like this post!  I think the post title says it all!  Who doesn’t love ice cream especially in the hot and humid Summer months?  When I first saw the pictures, my mouth immediately began to water!  Although it was tough, I managed not to drool all over my key board.  I’ll give myself a little pat on the back for that!  Now let’s see if you can do it!

Oh and if you missed yesterday’s post, Propagating Basil is Easy by Marci, don’t forget to check it out!

Thank goodness most of us have a short week after the Memorial Day Holiday.  Memorial Day is when some of us kick off our summer after honoring all that have fallen.

You know what that means!  You guessed it... pull out the Ice Cream machine!  

It is with great pleasure that I am writing this guest post for Elena.  For those of you that do not know me,  I am Barbara over at Mature Spring Chick.

What is your favorite Ice Cream?  Let's begin with a REAL EASY one.  Psst!  I can personally tell you that Elena likes this flavor!
