THINGS I LOVE

Things I LOVE

clean..

clean clothes, clean house, any thing that smells clean

sheets off of the clothesline
rain

vanilla, everything vanilla

vanilla syrup
vanilla tea
vanilla candles
vanilla rum
vanilla ice cream

well used words

books
the smell and feel of a book in my hands
the smell of ink on paper

well cooked food
cooking food well

a perfect cheesecake
yeast bread
the feel of silky pizza dough as I toss it hand to hand

my apron

the feeling of capturing something surprising in a photo

silence
peace
alone time

the look Emily gives me when she wants me to know she loves me beyond what her words can tell me

that moment when Zoe falls asleep in my arms and I feel her relax and get heavy against my chest

watching girls fall all over themselves when my boys walk by.. that is sooo good!

thunderstorms
that feeling of knowing that Mother Nature is so much more powerful than we could ever imagine to be and knowing that we are at her mercy.

that moment when the wind comes before the rain, it rips threw the trees across the highway and then hits me full force as I sit on the bench out front waiting, waiting breathing a sigh of relief as the summer heat melts away at least for a moment

looking around to see that my dog Rufus and I both have our noses up in the wind breathing as deeply as we can.

I could go on and on forever... now you do a few...
