Swans at the bay!







Swans in Deale, Maryland. They are beautiful animals and their songs are wonderful to wake up to!

Also, I want to share my favorite vegan meal, Gazpacho!

Gazpacho is a chilled Spanish soup that is a wonderful combination of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, garlic, etc. So delicious!

  • 3 tbsp red wine or balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • dash black pepper
