Whew! Where did the day go?...early dismissal for the kiddos and three day weekend ahead! I have to drive Miss Daisy (aka, Lydia) around a bit tomorrow but other than that it should be a relaxing family-filled weekend. Thought I would revisit Friday 5 for today's post...
Smelling...citrus...it's those Cuties again! I got a tart batch this time, and we seem to love them even more. It's a healthy addiction at this point... ;)
Tasting...Helios...ha, bet you thought I was going to say Cuties again. Fooled you! We are getting so spoiled with Victory as our local brewery. Cheers!
Touching...acrylic yarn & slippery metal knitting needles! I helped out with the 4th-6th grade knitting club today. Click clack! Fun times!
Seeing...the S U N! It got me out of my funk and made me feel alive again! Well, that and the Helios...I could also say that I am seeing the words in the novel Pure which I happily read this afternoon while my kiddos were otherwise occupied (no helicopter parenting here!). (If you look carefully at the photo below you can see my cat's reflection as she hovers nearby waiting to jump into my lap since she is cold!)
Hearing...my 7th grader practicing a piece of music on her viola this afternoon that I remember playing in a quartet when I was in HS! I rushed upstairs and had to play it too (okay, attempt to play it!)! Yes, it's been many moons, and she does it much better than her mama now, but it was fun! Such great memories practicing & playing all four movements of this with my quartet in a music festival!
Happy weekending to you and yours!
seeing...A REAL ice cream man!
tasting...sugar snap peas
touching...soft cotton yarn while knitting a second pair of Kanoko pants
hearing...Lukas talking to himself while playing with the trains at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
smelling...My sweet boy sticky with snow cone & raspberry yogurt.

::hearing...birdies outside! When I was taking out the trash this morning I smiled when I realized there were birds tweeting nearby. Perhaps they were reminding me to fill the bird feeder before the snow comes this afternoon/ tonight (12-18 inches expected for our area). Maybe they were chastising me for not filling it already? Silly birdies...
::seeing...SNOW clouds!
::touching...laundry warm from the dryer. I momentarily thought about climbing in the dryer since it was so appealingly warm but settled for smooshing my face into the warm clothes instead.
::tasting...extra sharp cheddar cheese (Cabot) for snack this morning with my Lukas. Love all of Cabot's cheeses...the taste of Vermont.
::smelling...the lovely wooliness of the yarn I'm knitting a cowl with. It's a bulky Cormo from Juniper Moon farm near my parents home in VA. My mom bought it at their local farmers' market, and I just made here a cowl with one skein. I enjoyed the yarn so much and the cowl turned out so well that she told me to make myself one...didn't have to tell me twice! Looking forward to wearing it this weekend in the snow. Goo see their lamb cam here!
::seeing::corners of my home...
::hearing::Vampire Weekend's latest!
::smelling::pizza cooking!
::tasting::well, this morning when I started this post I was tasting some yummy steel cut oats with brown sugar and walnuts...mmm...I like to cook my steel cut oats in my rice cooker using the timer feature so they are ready for breakfast when we're up at o'dark thirty. Going to taste our Friday evening pizza in a moment too!
::touching::my new keyboard on my MacBook. I was without my beloved MacBook, aka FrankenMac, for a few days this past week. I was able to use my husband's Dell laptop running Windows 7 and was constantly reminded of why I love Apple so much more!!!
