It’s still full-blown summer out there, which means the temperatures are still roasty, the A/C is still on blast, and we’re still sweating. Will there be any reprieve? You bet your frozen treats there will be!

When the temps are high, there’s nothing more refreshing than a freezing cold popsicle to cool things down. Just some frozen sugarwater with fruity flavors. What more can you even ask for? It’s literally inspiring. And that’s why it’s this week’s prompt.
