“Joe the Snow”-s ice cream cart bell woke me up.
Just 11 AM.
I slept late last-night at 7.
I could do with a six scoop cone.
But that involves getting out of bed, the jacket, a hike of 20 yards across the park and lots of snow!
How I wish Joe could come to my window to take my order.
The only stuff within reach is the bed-side table, with a clock, match-box, candle, and a glass of water.
Ten minutes and six tries later, people in the park were dowsing the fire on the window curtain. There they are, Bob – the balloon man, two park rangers, a beggar, and “Joe”.
I can beat Garfield hands down any day.
=======================================================
There were 2 plots fighting in my head – one inspired by Rochelle’s weather story the other Garfield. I guess even untiring Rochelle is no match for Garfield. He won and so this is this week’s FF.
For cue of Friday Fictioneers hop on to Rochelle’s den. The rest of the fictions are at the blue froggy link below.
Anything for icecream 😀 Except perhaps getting out of bed on such a day. 😉 Garfield bows down to your greatness, oh Horus.

If a six-scoop ice cream cone won’t motivate this character, what will? Oh yeah, a fire… 😉

I’d just reach out of the window, grab a handful of snow and slap a spoonful of jam on it – six times!
