A Sure Sign of Spring

First day of Spring = FREE Italian Ice!
Confession...I don't really like Rita's. 
But it was free, and I'm not one to pass up anything that's free.

I was only in line for 30 minutes.
Not bad at all.

I decided to get the red velvet cake cream ice. 
The first few spoonfuls tasted good, then it was just coldness in my mouth. 
Once I let it melt a bit it seemed to have more flavor.
And now my tongue is a lovely shade of dark red.

Thanks, Rita's, for kicking off my Spring in a cool way.
I'll see you next year!
