I love
I was tagged a whole month ago by the lovely Anna - I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. I've done so many "things about me" posts, that I'm doing this differently - I dug up a list of things I love that I wrote during lunch weeks ago... :)
I love:
- when blossoms rain down from tree branches
- when stereo music pulses with a deep bass, like thunder
- when sun dapples across the page I'm writing on
- when wind ripples water
- when people speak quietly and don't end their speech with a big finale
- when people shy away
- when people search for the right words and don't find them
- when people shrug
- when people wear a tender smile
- when people help each other
- when people you don't know, tuck your shirt tag in for you
- when people (who often are in love) look into each other's faces with such wonderment, almost as if afraid, and with a look that says they are looking at the most wonderful thing on earth
- when my sentences end right as a song ends
- when bells ring:
Tell me a few things you love, on your blog, or as a comment... :)

fall mornings with a chill in the air, good books and a child to read them with, hot cocoa and apple pie.
All yummy.
Sitting at my desk at night when a cool breeze blows in the window. Watching my elder daughter read to my younger daughter. Popcorn made on the stove. The smell of old woodsmoke in a cabin. Walking into a new to me used book store. Slowly choosing fabric purchases.
The smell of my husband, the warmth of his embrace, the sound of the sea, the taste of hot chocolate....x
I can't stop myself from tucking in stranger's tags and this embarrasses my kids to no end!
Thank you Kimberly, donna, and catherine - those are all such wonderful things! :)
Hee hee, Carol, I knew there was a reason I love you! :) My tags are always sticking out!
I love fall's clear chilly days. I love the smell of a campfire. I love the giddy happiness of my children playing together without argument. I love it when the clerks at the store can see that I am lost in a private shopping reverie and leave me completely alone. I love when they roll out the fabric on the bolt at the cutting table at the fabric store and I get a good look at the glorious color and pattern. I love tight closeups of stitching details...
wow - I had never heard that Mazzy Star song before! I downloaded it immediately! Thanks for the new favorite :)
Thanks for posting that video--I'll be buying that CD now. I love being exposed to things I haven't heard previously.
Finding new blogs that inspire me.
Thanks
I'm very late to respond, but I love that very first time I can smell fall (that crisp coolness), the first taste of something esp. if it's a new-to-me food or drink, photocopies that are still warm (that one must sound really dumb, but it's true).
I should mention that after I posted that comment earlier, your post sent me on a wild chase through You Tube. Hours and hours of exploring Hope Sandoval, Jesus and the Mary Chain, etc. Then onto other artists. I have become so enamored with the videos, I have started posting a video each week. Video Sunday, I call it. And though few if any people comment, I keep posting. It's really the first time I have truly posted something for my own enjoyment, not hoping for response.
My VERY belated reply
