Grilled Lemon Chicken Flatbread Wraps, and That Golden-Hued Evening Sky
Have you ever found yourself a little transfixed by that late day/early evening glowing skyline as it stretches across the horizon and envelopes everything below it, and to the sides of it, in a soft splash of gold?
I certainly have, quite frequently; and it’s probably one of my favorite things in the world.
It can be spectacular!
And it can whisk me away into moody daydreams of moving pictures in my mind, punctuated by a new favorite song that plays on continuous loop as a soundtrack, adding to the sweet melancholia that swells my heart until it feels like it might just burst, but in a good way.
