Pappy, I decided to make something (for real) to add to your beautiful country porch post, so I went in my kitchen and made, what I'm calling, my Sweet Southern Pineapple Frappé. It's a beautiful day here in NC so I took this pic outside on my back deck (just imagine it's a front porch lol).

It's only 4 ingredients: Fresh very-ripe Pineapple(I partially froze chunks), TJ's Vanilla ice-cream, spring water Ice cubes, and unsweetened almond milk (or you can use any kind of milk or juice...just enough for blending. Then I added a sprig of mint. The striped straw is the old-fashioned paper kind.

My table garden in the photo is mint, thyme, and a red geranium. I should have used my salmon pink geranium in the pic to match your table setting. Oh well. There's a wind chime hanging where the bird feeder was because hawks were eyeing my birdies, the squirrels were hoarding the seeds, and my dogs were chasing the squirrels and barking. All's quiet now with only a chime or two in the summer breeze.

Taken with my iPhone...
