With Labor Day weekend now behind us, it's time to reflect upon the last few weeks that seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
Summer, glorious Summer, how I will miss you.
Your lingering sunsets and starry nights that fill me. Your balmy days healed the wounds of my soul and your bright blue horizon - that I spent many moments dreaming, endlessly dreaming into...
Soon, the leaves will turn, and in the spirit of giving it one last 'hurrah', they will imitate the hues of your blazing sunsets before fading away completely. The salty air will give way as well and soon we shall fill our lungs with the warm scent of pine, spices and firewood. The firebugs will burn out and the crickets will go to sleep. The nights will be quiet, and from my window, I will watch as the creek, that sparkles like a sea of diamonds under your spell, comes to a calming still.
In the spirit of bidding you a fine and hopefully brief farewell, I will blissfully embrace my final moments with you while enjoying this rich ice cream on a sultry September evening.

I love all these fresh ingredients. Strawberries are on their way to New England, and picking season is not so far away. I can't wait to try this easy recipe on a hot day this summer after strawberry picking. Thanks for another great recipe Catherine!

I absolutely love the summer and mourn its passing, but I will soon accept fall into my heart and embrace it too. This ice cream is beautiful. I feel like I could almost take a big lick. Good thing I eat ice cream year round.
