orange creme...

...on a lily

not fully opened... with a silky white stripe -

making me think of those ice cream bars i had as a kid... at my brothers little league baseball games... you know the ones - i think they were called dream cycles or some such - they had like orange sherbet on the outside... and this very dreamy creamy white stuff on the inside - which would just about melt in your mouth... oh my - but it was the best of the best on a hot summer night... my friends and i would hunt down under the bleachers for change... kicking around the dirt and leaves - looking for dimes and quarters... to be able to buy one of those ice cream bars or perhaps rolos... or charleston chews...

you can tell we weren't much interested in how our brother's did - if they won their baseball games or not... it was more about socializing - having fun... being with friends in the cool evening breeze - making for...

a

happy day.....

*edit: i must've been dreaming since i referred to the ice cream bars as dream cycles versus creamsicles... how funny is that? fortunately - some of you graciously pointed me in the right direction... so now if i want to purchase any - i'll know the proper name - not have people looking at me funny- like... boo!
