five senses friday

I'm playing along with abby's five senses friday! Hooray! Below you will find three hours worth of friday.

i taste:
- fresh apples with beecher's flagship cheese, my new favorite combination.
- chewable vitamin c tablets, tart and sweet like candy.
- the absence of coffee. need. some. now.

i smell:
- my jasmine plant, near the end of full bloom.
- rosemary hand lotion and lavender deodorant. i enjoy smelling like an herb garden.
- the dusty earthiness of dog's paws, stretched out in my face at 6:30 this morning.

i see:
- mt. rainier in the distance, still mostly snow.
- geese floating motionless in the bay.
- books, my treasures.

i feel:
- the scruff of dog's fur.
- dave shaking me to wake up. (i hate this.)
- the awkward rub of my polished toes against slick new shoes.

i hear:
- click and hum of the busy printer.
- the white noise of my breath and the ventilation system overhead.
- a happy happy friday song, which played on the radio at 7:18 this morning and is now stuck like glue. that's ok. i like it.


Thanks for letting me play, abby!

There is nothing wrong with smelling like an herb garden!

LOVE the song! It is a great 'upper'.

Have a great Friday!

Such a grand list, so full of good sensory experiences! And, I like smelling like herbs as well. It reminds me of how in warm weather, I can't pass by my garden without rubbing lavender or rosemary between my thumb and forefinger, then inhaling deeply.

I can almost smell that now. :)

Yum Beechers!

Hello, fellow Seattleite. How are you? I mention mountains in my five senses, too. Aren't they gorgeous right now??

Don't you just love dog feet? Mine has feet that smell like grass, corn chips, dirt...
