La Vida Buena


Oh isn't Life so dear sometimes? Like barefeet on top of a mountain, resting after you climb it with a very good friend. And a gentle breeze, as you look out onto mountain peaks and peaks north and south in the distance. And you eat smoked salmon and cheese and apples and trail mix that tastes like absolute heaven. And the potent lemonade you drink down is so strong makes your mouth gleak.

And Les Fleurs, the pink and yellow flowers in the front garden. That you water and weed and tend carefully when you are home. Yes, it is delightful to have a garden to tend. My dream....in the spring I will plant my own Fleurs, and tomatoes and other delicious things to eat.

And the herb pot and the basil plant, to pluck for dinners with mozzarella and tomato and olive oil. I think olive oil is definitely very good for you, so wonderful poured over rosemary bread. The Italians know best.....rest often, enjoy long slow meals, laugh a lot, spend time with good friends.
And that Is what I am going to do!
