in lieu of an "about me" page, or a "100 things" page, i thought i'd just tell you what makes me happy. it will certainly give you a bit of insight into my life and my heart. so, in no particular order...
earl gray, jasmine green and peppermint
warm, soapy dish water when my hands are cold
dates: the going out kind and the eating kind
creamy goat cheese on sliced pears

the way my hair looks in the morning when i've gone to bed with it wet
sunrise and sunset
being the first one up in the morning
lemon blossoms
a horse's warm neck and dusty sweaty hay smell
pink salt
a letter from a friend in the mailbox
loud purring cats
library books
discovering wood floors underneath carpet
tide pools hiding anemones
waking to birdsong
thick cream whipped to soft peaks
children's art displayed in school hallways
warm santa ana winds
agapanthus so violet they almost hurt my eyes to look at
hearing a long forgotten song
dirt smeared boy cheeks
being pregnant
dark mountain sky glittered with stars
sea birds dive-bombing for fish
the elegance of asparagus; spiffy little butlers
walking through a nursery
the tiki tiki tiki tiki tiki room
a book i can't put down
bubbles; they're instantly enchanting at any age
the sudden surprise of a hummingbird
free samples and testers
newborn yawns and sneezes
a friend who makes me laugh and cry all at once
my husband playing with my hair every night before bed
building sandcastles
ladybugs ladybugs ladybugs
creating a cake with flour, eggs and sugar
big, bold red wine drunk from a jelly jar
bags of potting soil; moist and heavy
the lushness of belly dancing
hand-spun yarn
wooden knitting needles

black and white photos
porch swings
the whistle of a tea kettle
sourdough toast dripping in butter
period films
fishy, salty ocean smell
singing the old hymns
red lips and nails
