Short Vacation "In the Desert" on my Balcony

avatar
(Edited)

( EN / DE ) The new community "Photo Essay" comes just in time to tell you about my wonderful Sunday. I discarded the original plan to go to the Maypole Festival with the family, because I was not 100% fit and thought, better not to go to a place crowded with people. So I stayed home alone with cat and we made ourselves comfortable.
Die neue Community Photo-Essay kommt gerade richtig um euch von meinem wunderbaren Sonntag zu erzählen. Den ursprünglichen Plan, mit der Familie aufs Maibaum Fest zu gehen, habe ich verworfen, da ich nicht 100% fit war und dachte, besser nicht an einen mit Menschen überfüllten Ort gehen. Also blieb ich mit Katze alleine zu Hause und wir machten es uns gemütlich.

The cat was snoring and I was surfing criss-cross through HIVE posts. All of a sudden, I don't know how I landed on an old post from @mfarinato about the desert, the Tuareg and music.
Die Katze schnarchte und ich surfte Kreuz und quer durch HIVE Posts. Auf einmal, keine Ahnung wie landete ich auf einem alten Post von Mfarinato über die Wüste, die Tuareg und Musik.

This picture of the desert jumped out at me. Probably the desert had called me? I listened to the music, I liked it, it touched something deep inside me. I kept searching on youtube until I found this playlist here:
Dieses Bild der Wüste sprang mich an. Wahrscheinlich hatte mich die Wüste gerufen? Ich lauschte der Musik, sie gefiel mir, sie berührte etwas tief in mir. Ich suchte auf youtube weiter bis ich diese Playlist hier fand:

Andalusian Spanish Arabic Music

To feel the magic of the moment too, let the music play while you read on...

A craving for spices, couscous, peppermint and the feeling of sun, space and fresh air overcame me. Sighting the kitchen supplies revealed: Okay, couscous is there but with the rest must be improvised!
Ein Verlangen nach Gewürzen, Couscous, Pfefferminze und dem Gefühl von Sonne, Weite und frischen Luft überkam mich. Sichtung der Küchenvorräte ergab: Okay, Couscous ist da aber mit dem Rest muss improvisiert werden!

And while the desert music played I cooked purely intuitively: onion, carrots, cucumber, beans ... Cinnamon, cardamom, clove, marjoram smelled so fine. In addition salad with sour cream lemon dressing and peppermint tea with brown candy.
Und während die Wüsten Musik spielte kochte ich rein intuitiv los: Zwiebel, Möhren, Gurke, Bohnen... Zimt, Kardamom, Nelke, Majoran dufteten so fein. Dazu Salat mit Sauerrahm-Zitrone Dressing und Pfefferminztee mit braunem Kandis.

The first time this year I set the table on the balcony. Again I played this beautiful music to it, looking far into the distance of this sunny day. Perfect.
Das erste mal in diesem Jahr deckte ich den Tisch auf dem Balkon. Wieder spielte ich diese schöne Musik dazu, den Blick weit in die Ferne dieses sonnigen Tages schweifen lassend. Perfekt.

When I arrived at the dessert (cherry marble cake leftover from Friday), dogs barking and chattering were already returning from their outing. The magic of the moment ended, but it still reverberates :-)
Als ich beim Nachttisch (Kirsch Marmor Kuchen Rest vom Freitag) ankam, kehrten auch schon Hundegebell und Geplapper zurück von ihrem Ausflug. Der Zauber des Augenblicks endete, aber er hallt immer noch nach :-)

Now, while I'm writing this post, this magical music is running again and another call has come to me: "The Alchemist" wants to be read again after a very, very long time. Let's see what he has to tell me.
Jetzt, während ich diesem Post schreibe läuft diese magische Musik wieder im Hintergrund und ein anderer Ruf hat mich ereilt: "Der Alchimist" will nach sehr, sehr langer Zeit wohl wieder einmal gelesen werden. Mal sehen, was er mir zu sagen hat.

Sehr schöne Musik @beeber, mit das Essen hat es die Atmosphäre mit dein Post sehr gut gelungen. Wir hatten gestern und heute auch schönes Wetter. Gestern haben wir unsere Gartensaison wirklich geöffnet. Wir haben erstmal gegrillt.. ziemlich spät im vergleich zu Vorjahr.

Having a table in a balcony and enjoying a meal while listening to music is also an art form. Your photographs and posts are truly beautiful.
