Breath our scents, walk our landscape, hear our melodic dialects, delight in our savory morsels, touch each rich texture, and the southern essence remains a mystery. The ethereal south, unfathomable to the five senses, lives in the heart. If you believe in magic, and can survive the devastating passions of an open heart, just possibly, you stand a chance of living a moment as a southerner. Most people aren't brave enough to be southerners, even the ones that are.

A Sundy Cruise (a "C" Word) with a Message

The Divine Miss N, the Albino HMS Monkey, and I went for a cruise Sunday afternoon to watch the hot air baloons launch near Anderson. It was quiet a sight, and we had a really good meal at Carson's. Cruising back, the monkey started hooting and having a fit. We pulled over to the side of the road, figuring she needed to make a pit stop. But upon letting her out of the car she promptly scampered up a nearby signpost and started pointing and waving. Miss N picked up on what the monkey was trying to point out right away, and jumped out to take this picture. It took me a bit longer, and even longer to coach the silly monkey to climb back down.

Finally, the promise of a Starbucks mocha frappachino, putting her pic here, and letting her borrow the digi camera convinced the monkey to come down. I have to give it to the little booger. She took a decent pic of these guinea fowl that were grazing grass seed heads along the side of the road. I wonder who they belong to. I hadn't seen any of these in years.
