Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

cattitude ran into 42itous yesterday, and she invited us over to try some of the lavender ice cream that she had made with flowers from our garden. It was good: I started with a very small serving, in case I didn't like it, and then asked for some more because I did.

We went there this afternoon. The ice cream was good, and we talk and played board games (ones that her three-year-old could play, with a little help, though she got bored before the end of both). We played one game each of Blokus and Ingenious; they both involve placing colored game pieces on a board, but the rules and strategy are different (I think, I don't really have a good feel for the strategy of either).
