Drinks - Frozen Orange Mango


A Luscious Creamsicle

Do you remember those frozen orange creamsicle ice cream pops?  I had a mango and decided to make a frozen drink and added my favorite orange liquor with a little milk.  I thought it would taste like creamy mangos but it tastes just like those orange creamsicles.  What a joy!  This frozen drink is delicious and easy to make.

Something to learn about nature while enjoying a frozen drink. Here are some pictures of the manatee tree snail that lives here in Central Florida.

The Manatee Tree Snail

I discovered this snail on my clothes line for drying beach towels. They live on the palmetto trees.

There are lots of palmetto trees and I always find manatee tree snails when I trim the fronds.

These little friends are harmless to the trees and they like to eat the algae and mold off the bark, leaves, and fronds.
