Cucumber...WIPs?

I know, it sounds good, right?
But this isn't what you are expecting!

A few weeks ago, when the whole  nation was bombarded with,
beautiful, white snow, my husband and I ventured out!
He has the 4 wheel drive, but for some reason we took my truck!
Don't know why, probably my subconscious challenging me...it's that
dare devil, that's sits on our shoulders...are ya going to slide into every car going down the hill?
I had anxiety, for 5 blocks going down that hill, and didn't shift out of 1st gear!

We made it the grocery store, where everyone and their mothers were buying
out milk and bread!
Why?
All we needed was cat food!
After 6 bags of, (oh we may be snowed in,) grocery s, we're HOME!

Fast forward.....the snow is melting, the ice is gone, it's safe to drive again.
I get in my truck and smell Springtime!
The scent, is clean and refreshing!
It smelled so good!
For 3 days, I couldn't, for the like of me figure out why
the inside of my 10 year old truck smelled like fresh, clean, just chopped melon!
It' brought memories of Summer, fresh cut grass, sun-brewed tea...
this was crazy, was I so in-tune with the higher realms that I wanted mother earth....ahhh!
No!
I happened to look down, and in between the the seat and console was,
the source of my out of body experience!
One, frozen, now thawing and liquefying  cucumber!
(I knew I bought a cucumber, I cleaned out the refrigerator looking for it.)

But it smelled so good!

Time to make dip!

As for the Wips!
No cream, needed.

and one is finished!

  
He's in my Etsy Shop!

But I'd suggest you go and buy some cucumbers!

Glad to know your 'find the smell game' experience was a positive one. A few more days and it would have ended much differently. I hear from my daughter that onions are particularly bad. :O

You just have to name this little guy 'Cute Cuke' to remind you to check all nooks and crannys before exiting the vehicle!
