Let's Talk About Snowballs, Dean, and Blue & Green Color

NOT Snowcones.  NOT a slurpee.  Not a Utah-western snow cone.  SNOWBALL texture is different.  Smaller.  Finer.  Not grainy.  More like melt in your mouth, cold but not hard pellets or too tiny, it has a nice wet-heft-bulk to it, and is soft-like real snow.  Not that it snows here.  Only in the summertime!
They do this thing, adding marshmallow topping for extra 50 cents.  This is a photo after I have waited to cross the street and licked half of it off in the 91 degree sunny weather.  This was one of the specials:  "Ocean Wave" which was skylight (I don't know what flavor that is, but it is blue and really yummy--maybe raspberry based?) and green apple with marshmallow on top.  I ordered the smallest size so I could get additional marshmallow in the middle.  I cannot explain how good this summer treat is.  Emma would understand.  She used to work at a snowball shack.  She tried all the flavors, and made up her own combos.
 
To get to the post office every day I drove by this most unusual-colored brick old home:
 
And found a restaurant that shares a name with son-by-marriage:
 
Kind of a strange, old-timey town, snowballs and old buildings.
And on the way home, back in Harford Co. there is a remodeled home that used to look horrible.  They have redone it with gorgeous blue stained siding.  Green grass/trees & Blue home w/ white trim looks stunning, hard to capture in this drive-by.
I've never thought about a blue home before, but this looks great in our east coast lighting.  Not really navy, more like a dark peacock, but with enough gray to keep it neutral and pleasant, not a neighborhood eye sore.
