Our Day In Five Senses

Sound

• The whir of an electric fan
• The thud of a 95 year old door
• The quiet rumble of stroller wheels
  
• A chorus of tree swallows
• The distant putter of a lawn mower
  

Sight

• Golden sunlight filtered through tree tops
  
• An elusive Six-Spotted Tiger Beetle...I didn't think anything in nature could be this color (green metallic), but I guess when your name is Cicindela sexguttata, you deserve to be flashy!
  
• A hopscotch chalking on a bumpy sidewalk
• My bare-bellied boy sitting in the grass
  
• Peonies so voluptuous, they could not keep their heads up
• A caterpillar on a dandelion stem
  

Smell

• Billowy, red poppies in full bloom that just last week, were nothing more than tight, stubbly fists
• Fresh cut grass

Touch

• Bare feet on old oak floors
• Soft skin pressed against mine
• Crisp cotton sheets
  

Taste

• A cold bottle of water dripping with rivulets of condensation
  
• A leftover banana mini cake from Satchel's birthday, that I nibbled while he napped
