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.

Three Things Southern and Beautiful


Taking a cue from Clare, who writes Three Beautiful Things, (and is linked over there --->) today we have three things southern and beautiful.

First, I awoke this morning and stumbled to the kitchen to prepare coffe and soil the first dish of the day. It's customary here to leave a clean kitchen before retiring for the evening.

Secondly, I have added a mercinary link in the sidebar to Amazon, that from henceforth will feature products very much relevant to and from the south. Today an out of print, very much in demand, and hard to find southern cook book is featured. I've seen these on ebay go for $200 to $300, so the price is fantastic.

Thirdly and best of all, you read it here first. Palmetto Sweetheart, also a link over there ---->, and her hubby are now (finally!) the proud parents of another son of the south. Yes! It's a boy!

Zippity do dah!
