Sometimes you need to visit a place in your own hometown that you've never visited (don't ask me why). Nokomis Groves serves ice cream and also has a shop with local produce (oranges and grapefruit) and other local honey and sweets. It is always busy with locals and tourists alike. Ice cream, though, is the treat! You must get orange or lime because obviously they are known for their citrus. I had orange and vanilla twist, which was refreshing and tasty.
We were a little distracted the whole time, by the blooming cottonwood tree there in the parking lot, which was raining down fuzzy cotton (seeds). Literally, it was snowing the white fuzz. It was all over the ground, and constantly falling out of the tree,and it was quite breezy. While very interesting, the cotton snow would get stuck on us, or try to land on our ice cream cones. We all did our best to deflect the cotton snow.
What a sweet weekend it was, with low humidity! It was nice to step outside and enjoy it before the heat of the summer moves in for ages (and ages). My niece enjoyed it, for sure. The pure expression of joy and laughter says it all.
Hopefully, all the mum's out there had a sweet mother's day weekend.
