OMG! Ice Cream Posters You Will Love!

Share with a Buddy! I was walking down Spring Garden Street here in Philly when I came upon these signs in the window of Petrucci's Ice Cream at the corner of 18th street. I came back later and had to get a Mega Blend (their version of the Blizzard, an old favorite from high school when I worked next door to a ice cream place). I took some more pictures on my second trip and found out all of the signs were made by the girls who work at the shop. They must have been mightily inspired to come up with these super adorable signs. Check out the single scoops in cups and the Brownie Sundae girl in green.

Beets! Free Food!

I stopped by the community garden today and I was planning to drop off compost and look around, but sad the season is ending, but when I got there I saw the beets! They were huge and there were these 4 ready to pick and scores of other ones will be ready now that these biggins are out of the way! And I was at the store this morning trying to decide what root veggie to roast and luckily I didn't get beets. I totally forgot I was growing them. I picked some thyme and lemon balm while I was there and I was feeling so happy I have a garden and I can get free food when I need it from the garden. Of course, I'll be tired of beets after I eat these, but it's still cool.

I've been thinking about ways to make the community garden more friendly and functional and fun and today I was thinking we should name each block of beds so people can say where their plot is. I was thinking letters, but you could also name the blocks after cities or states and you could name the paths. Like you could have the block Los Angeles and Rodeo Drive and New Orleans and St. Charles Ave. We have a fantastic community garden (18th and Wallace Streets),.

First Frost

I hustled over to the garden before work to take some pictures of frost on the plants, but I only found a few ground covers with frost on them.



Lettuces

I did get some nice images of the turning leaves.
