I, once again, have been giving in to wanderlust for atypical green acreage, soft sloping hills, and wine or cheese tasting. It’s never a bad time in my mind for travel, although my reality and commitments usually put a halt to that kind of thinking. Nevertheless, the dream function of the mind has no boundaries, so I let it stroll and run with any kind of scenario that satiates that travel bug. As I generally dress to fit my mood, this is where I’m at right now. The sight of caramel hues and sunflower yellow has a positive psychophysical effect on me. My pulse quickens and perhaps even a subtle rise in body temperature follows suit as if I’m briskly charting the day checking off a list of sights that I want to see and famed artwork in small, modest churches in hidden away cobbled alleys.
