Snow Ice Cream

Happy New Year! Wow....Southwest Missouri has six inches of snow and that's about the temperature outside...six degrees! It's about 5 a.m., so hopefully temperatures will at least get into the double digits today. I got out to shovel the driveway yesterday and discovered the snow was like powder. Speaking of snow, the trio I jam with, the "Thee Left Feet" got together yesterday and we decided to make snow ice cream. Liz whipped up some honey, cream and vanilla extract, then we added the fresh fallen snow. Listen...that was just the best thing I've eaten in a long, long time. Much lighter than ice cream, no eggs. Hope you are all doing well. Don't forget to tune into my radio show "The Mulberry Tree" on KSMU, Springfield, Missouri's NPR affiliate. The show airs every Sunday evening at 10 p.m. CST. If you want a little more background on "The Mulberry Tree", check out my post from October 3rd. You can stream the show live from your computer...just go to www.ksmu.org and click on "listen live." If you have suggestions for the show, or need a little more information on a song you heard, just send an email to: mulberrytree@ksmu.org If you're a musician who has music to share, and your genre is singer/songwriter, folk (traditional and modern), or you're a local or regional musician, send some tunes to the studio: KSMU Attn: "The Mulberry Tree" c/o Emily Higgins 901 South National - Strong Hall Springfield, MO 65897 I'm not performing as much as I use to, but soon the trio will get out to sing some harmonies. Just watch my "calendar" page for future appearances. Stay warm, happy, and if you can, find some time for music in your life. It makes everything a little brighter. Emily
