Today

Marta at the dear diary stories makes these wonderful mini-diaries and I asked her if I could use the journaling ideas for a blog post.  I am delighted that she graciously agreed - I know I'm going to enjoy using these every so often.  Thanks, M!!

Today

July 21, 2010

I love the smell

of oatmeal crispie cookies fresh from the oven.

I love the sound

of birds chattering in the trees outside the window.

I love the taste

of  the first new red potatoes, 

smothered in cream with dill.

I love the sight

of heavy scarlet raspberries 

hanging under the green leaves

waiting to be picked.

I love the sight
of fresh washed fruits,

home from the market, 

plump and juicy.

I love the feel

of bread dough as I shape it into a loaf

and slip it into the pan to rise.

(in all their unfocussed glory!)
