Being Me

I am a Texas gal.  I love the simple pleasures of life that bring so much joy.  Those pleasures that include a drive along a country road with roadside stand to buy fresh produce or fruit local to the area, the sweet heady aroma of a wildflower field, the live music at a vineyard to have a delicious Texas wine, and the breathtaking sunsets that dance along the sky with white, pale blue, turquoise, peach, pink and orange colors that make you wanna stop..turn up the music and think..life is good!

Rain happened today in the late of the evening.  The pounding of thunder with hammer of  rain as the bolting of  lightening  brightens the gloomy rain filled skies.  I love thunderstorms.. I love the richness of the heady aromas of the rain as Mother Earth welcomes the nourishment that is needed.

Water, heady scents, earthy goodness.  The combinations of those three call out to join the Gypsy's Table.   I think of water infused with lemon and oranges, rich tomato goodness of a cold gazpacho with  a wonderful roasted vegetable sandwich made with a lemon aioli.


The next time you can experience the richness of a rainstorm take the time to see how the abundance of the exhilarating  wholesomeness that surrounds you.
