Last night I dreamed about
Key Limes.
Not just limes, but, Key Limes -- the delicious little devils that are about the diameter of a quarter and rarely available in the markets around here.
I don't remember much about the dream, except that I was picking Key Limes off a tree.
Today I was out doing errands, riding around in the jeep with the top down (makes errands a lot more fun, believe me!) and one of the last places I had to go was the grocery store. Not to buy groceries, just to drop off a couple of bagsful of plastic bags for recycling. I have been doing some cleaning and declutterring in the house again, this time focusing on the breezeway -- which has been a storage area for the past couple of years, and I want to make it a useable room again. The bags were just a part of the stuff I have been clearing out. I also had a big bag of things to drop off for charity, and a rug to take to the drycleaners today.
So by the time I got to the grocery store, I was feeling pretty hot, despite the breezes in my hair as I was driving around. Right now the heat index is 93 degrees, that could have something to do with it.
I have some more chores to do in the house, because Bernie wants to go to camp after he gets home from work, so I went into the grocery store to see if I could find something suitably refreshing to hel0p get me through my chores...
And there in the middle of the aisle was a big bucket full of ice and POM Wonderful Pomegranite Juice. This stuff is so yummy! and good for you, too. I try not to drink fruit juice "straight" because of the high sugar content, but mixed with plain seltzer, fruit juice spritzers are one of my favorite drinks. Right next to the bucket of POM Wonderful, was the produce department, and there on the end of one of the tables were three baskets full to the brim with plump delicious looking limes. Not Key Limes, but they still looked delicious.
The sign said "8 for $1.99" -- I said EUREKA!
So here I sit, taking a break with a big, tall, icy cold pomegranite spritzer
with a big fat wedge of lime, and lots of crushed ice.
YUM!
I highly recommend you do the same. It's good for you, and oh, so refreshing.
If straight pomegranite is too tart for your taste, I suggest the POM Wonderful Pomegranite/Mango Juice. It is so yummy it should be illegal. I haven't tried the Pomegranite/Cherry Juice yet, that is definitely on my to-try list.
Have a lovely weekend, whatever you're doing,
and take time for something cool and tasty.

That sounds like a yummy drink. I must look for that juice when I go to the store, you've persuaded me to try it.
I always thought key limes were just a way of sprucing up the name of the pie, or that it ahd something to do with Florida.Had no idea there really were Key Limes. That's an interesting dream, with soothing imagery.
Rufus says "Tanks" for the birthday wishes. He enjoyed reading them all whilst chewing a snackie.
that does sound very yummy
Unusual but sounds very refreshing for hot days. I will try anything once. Don't think the stores here have it though. Maybe I could do a home-made one with the fruit.
Have a great week.

Oh wow, yeah. Squonk uses a good word for your dream and this entry- soothing. Gotta try some pom juice, but I've never been a lime gal. Though I could be now!
I sure am gonna miss summer.
lately my husband takes a tall glass, fills it half with lemon and lime wedges and then ice and then sprite, turns out pretty good:)

Key limes? I have no idea what you're talking about!...
Sugar - in doubt whether to replace my ample spoonfulls of sugar in the coffee with those sweetener things.
Sounds delicious!
