During summer evenings, the parking lot at McNulty’s is packed with families out for ice cream. Sticky-faced children mill around the patio leaving trails of drips and drops in their wake.

When I passed by last week there was still snow on the ground and not a car in the lot. I’d never noticed it before but they have a great, big ice cream cone that hangs over the doorway. Given my love of quirky roadside stuff, I just had to grab a picture.

Just thinking about ice cream and summer has got my spring fever in overdrive. C’mon springtime!
