five senses friday


(inspired by my friend abby, who was inspired by shari)

seeing::
cartoon clouds, chipped nail polish, neon duct tape, messy rooms, moonrise kingdom

tasting::
first strawberries from our garden, avocado on everything, sugarcane lemonade

hearing:: 
ezra talking in his sleep, the creak and rattle of my old bike, the black keys on repeat, this (playing in my head, over and over)

smelling::
an explosion of roses on my front porch, fresh mint in my water

feeling::
the weight of an old camera in my hands, excited (and a little nervous) about an upcoming cross country train trip with the kids, excited (giddy, really) about the onset of summer

    This is lovely. I am feeling cold, fat raindrops on my skin before I dive into the freezing sea, tasting homemade chutney with a wicked curry, smelling my daughter's chlorine skin from the swimming pool, seeing the littlest one's golden locks ( miraculously untangled) and listening to Music to Murder By - Alfred Hitchcock soundtrack. Yeah to all five senses.

    thanks, lady!

    for some reason, I couldn't view the video (which, of course, makes me want to watch it that much more). :)

    Hi Andrea :)

    Thanks so much for the inspiration...I joined along with the fun! This is a great way to remember some of the little details from the week that might otherwise have been forgotten.
