Pretty, please, with sprinkles on top

First day of Summer 2011. It was a mostly cloudy day but the temperature was okay. I promised myself an ice cream cone. There was no line up. Had everyone forgotten what day it was?

I took my chocolate and sprinkle dipped cone outside and sat alone in the middle of the patio, facing Portage Avenue. I gnawed at the chocolate shell. Rainbow flecks of sugar hit the grey cement tabletop. I was making a mess but leaving the world a brighter place. That's the magic of ice cream.
