Spent my youth in Texas. Summer in Texas is hot and dry. Long, hot summer days listening to the cadence of the cicadas and watching heat waves in the distance below the clear blue sky. Riding our bicycles with cane fishing poles attached to our favorite creeks, always looking for the big one that always seemed to elude us. Buying a whole watermelon for 25 cents and sitting on the back porch sharing it with my best friend. Picking dewberries along the railroad tracks after you shake the bushes with a long stick to warn any snakes that you are coming in. My mom would make dewberry pie and jelly. Eating loads of Blue Bell ice cream every chance we got. Homemade Vanilla has got to be the best ice cream there is. You need to try some at least once in your life if you have never had it.
