Five Senses Friday

Taste

• Asparagus and Leek Quiche (see here)
• Dulce de leche ice cream.
  
• The half and half I had to use up from making the quiche, in my coffee. I never have half and half in my coffee. It is divine.
  

See

• The entire mountain range covered by rain clouds
• The teeniest, tiniest little grey bird flying across our path during a walk. I'm still wondering what is was.
• A profusion of intensely purple prickly pear along the sidewalk.
• Someone's chicken ambling through the neighborhood.
  

Touch

• Running my fingers through our terrier's wiry hair.
• Cold toes. Spring is being fickle but I refuse to go back to shoes instead of sandals.
  

Smell

• Apple blossoms.
• Rain. Even if it is only a few drops, I can smell it here so intensely.
  

Hear

• These crazy black birds (a grackle?) that make noises like car alarms.
• Emiliana Torrini, Me and Armini
• Allison Sattinger, Steady Heart
