Five Senses Friday

I've decided to participate in Five Senses Friday after really enjoying Julia's posts on the theme.

So, here's my first post on my sensual "best of-s" of the week:

Taste:

• The first gin and tonics on our patio
• Organic tangerines from our new farmshare subscription
• Green tea while I read my favorite blogs after work

See:

• Tumbleweeds blowing across the highway
• A slant of afternoon light across the sprouts in the garden
• Two doves nuzzling on a telephone wire
• Budding branches against a big blue sky
  

Touch:

• thin cotton for the quilt I am piecing by hand
• my favorite spring T-shirt
• sand between my toes when the wind blows through my sandals

Smell:

• The basil after it's watered (I love how disturbing it slightly releases its fragrance)
• Geranium leaves
  
• A (semi) freshly bathed, warm dog
• Coffee in the morning

Hear:

• A blackbird cawing in a treetop
• Billy playing his guitar
• The dogs romping together in the backyard
