A surprising touch of normalcy

I just went for a short walk, mostly because even in normal times I do better, mentally, if I get outdoors long enough to get a bit of daylight every day.

I walked down to Trapelo Road and looked at what's open. The fancy foods store is, but has sold all of today's baguettes. So is the convenience store across the street. They have a fresh stock of the soft Italian ices, all the flavors they usually carry.

So I got some watermelon ices, which I started eating as I walked home in the rain, and they are good.

Restocking those right now is optimistic, but we can use a bit of optimism, and that taste of summer. Lizzy's and Tosci's are, unsurprisingly, closed for who knows how long, but I have these. Maybe vanilla or green apple tomorrow, when it's forecast to be significantly warmer.
