Five Senses Friday, Day 19


Sight:
1. White egrets.
2. My Mom gave me her old "Christmas at Our House" journal from 1980, and a letter she wrote to my grandmother when my brother started walking which would make me 3 or 4.
3. A rainbow.
4. Our neighbor moved away, and she gave us a 5-level cat tower. It's kind of an eyesore in our small living room, but it makes Harley happy. Such a big toy will fit better in our house.
5. Our gym's schedule - free Yoga classes since we are members!

Smell:
1. Burning frankincense and amber incense - it's been awhile, and smells lovely.
2. Mill Creek henna shampoo and conditioner. The best price per quantity I've found at Whole Foods, and both are free of sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates and parabens!
3. Tandoori chicken on our grill.
4. Seventh Generation toilet cleaner.
5. The scent of Old Spice shower gel on Johnny's skin.

Taste:
1. Cantaloupe.
2. Grape tomatoes.
3. Yaya's Raw Rah spinach curry crackers.
4. Green grapes.
5. Chilled Guayaki Empower Mint yerba mate energy drink.

Hear:
1. Last night we thought we heard a round of gun shots, and our neighbors thought likewise. Those who had 'em grabbed their guns (including Johnny). Thankfully, it was only a group of kids setting off fireworks on the street next to our building.
2. The book of Romans on CD while driving.
3. Myself singing Gillian Welch songs while I put away dishes.
4. Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album turned up very loud while I continued to clean up the kitchen. And this is for you Aunt Denise - I danced around to "Second Hand News!"
5. I calmed down to "Songbird," one of my mushy Johnny songs.

Touch:
1. The carpet, while stretching my back.
2. Purple Preserve toothbrush.
3. Thieves oil on my feet.
4. Sinuses pressing on ALL of my top teeth - ouch.
5. Packing Johnny's lunch: tuna, banana, roasted sweet potato fries, carrots, and celery. Healthy, huh?
