celebrating life + five senses friday


The beginning of my week was a struggle, hard to find beauty in all of the confusion & sadness. But- I hid away for awhile & reflected. Now, I’m celebrating life & it feels so good.

{five sense friday}
sight:
-a beautiful farm with chickens & greenhouses & a very talkative farmer
 -straws made into squares & rectangles & octagons by a very creative second grader 
-rain seen from my window
sound:
-bon iver’s “for emma, forever”
-everything bob dylan
-“I want to make it up to you.” {thank you, I love you.}
taste:
-ooey gooey butter bar, before dinner
-fresh spinach with raisins & sunflower seeds
-egg sandwiches for lunch, all week long
-goat cheese from the farmer’s market smeared on ciabatta bread
touch:
-pillows & blankets from days spent in bed
-wool socks (it’s been chilly this week)
-his rosy cheeks & soft lips
smell:
-fresh incense
-dirty hair from days without showering
-the smell of fresh soil ready to be worked
-fresh flowers from him because he knows they’re my favorite
love,
Natalie
