five senses friday
We've been on an emotional roller coaster this week. Soon, maybe I'll talk about it. I thought this would be a calm, reflective way to wind it up.
SIGHT:
skinny little legs with knobby knees in tall black soccer socks my pretty new necklace yellow and white and maybe a little green, for my last minute Tie One On apron puddles on the black driveway SOUND: my new favorite, pandora.com baby N cough, cough, coughing in the night my dear mom's voice over the phone rain tapping on the roof TASTE: homemade Italian sausage pizza tart dried cranberries in the sweet oatmeal cookies breakfast for dinner: cheesy scrambled eggs, waffles, fruit a semi-sweet riesling chosen for the label alone SMELL: those oatmeal cookies in the oven clean kiddo hair j's bed- smells just like him wet dog- blick! TOUCH: a big hug from my mom snuggling N- she's only cuddly when she's ill soft little boy hair- "How long do you want to grow it, J?" "Three years." :) wet shoes, hands, pant cuffs Noticing the trend? They are predicting rain ALL. WEEKEND. LONG. Thanks go to Shari for this nice idea.

Rainy down here too, but Lord knows we need it. I hope little Nora feels better soon... and now you have me craving oatmeal cookies!
