Five Senses Friday

Taste

• the first popsicle of the season
• a burger hot off the grill
• organic champagne mangoes from our CSA box
  

See

• an albino peacock perched on a dark wooden post-- shockingly beautiful
• blooms opening on the cacti in our backyard
• baby llamas grazing
  
• the buds on the trees turning to leaves, giving us a bit of shade on the patio
  

Touch

• The first night sleeping with the window open, light blankets, and a fan running
• the stickiness of geranium leaves
  
• dirt between my fingers as I transplanted our herbs, peppers, and broccoli
  

Smell

• Charcoal, lighter fluid, and lemon juice blending together
  

Hear

• the cries of peacocks at the farm where I pick up our produce
• the voice of an old friend on the phone, her babies babbling in the background
• rediscovering old favorites in my iTunes library
