The simple things in life (22)

How refreshing,the simple things in life are the best,what you mean no black Audi outside the door,the newest and the best of everything or so materialistic it wants to make one puke,persoanly watching the bats at the moment over the lake and that white owl not to mention watching the new star sky constellations as they rise from the east to south to west.

Nice thread Mariannette :)

Ever since childhood I have loved been wrapped up warm and snug in bed listening to the howling wind and lashing rain outside. There's a lot of comfort and gratitude in that I find.

I love the smell of freshly cut grass and cold frosty mornings in November/December when you can see the twinkling of the frost on the tarmac as you walk.

I love the evenings when I'm sat here snuggled up and smelly candles lit (Yankee Sweet Strawberry being my favourite). Wine is optional

A clean house.....Oh my God how I love sitting down and putting my feet up admiring my hard work! Looking out at the freshly mowed lawn and how neat it looks for all of five days and getting into a bed with fresh sheets that have been ironed and smell of Bold 2in 1 Lavender and Camomile.

I know I am sad and really need to get a life but you did say 'small things'

I love those 'frost days' in December, in the run up to xmas, the days when the sun might be beaming, not a cloud in the sky but yet the frost never lifts.

Those nights in late November, the cold frosty ones, with not a cloud in the sky and all the stars visible, on such nights I can open be found head back, mouth open gazing skyward turning in circles on the spot


The smell of Autumn.....I got a hint of it last week, I swear!! That sweet smell in the air and that little nip in the evening air, even if it has been a great day, still you can feel that chill arrive in the air.


Watching snowfall and being as excited as a kid about getting out in it, hearing it crunch under your feet, seeming how it tranforms everything and makes everything equal, all white, clean, soft and fresh.


Watching nature at work, how the birds and bees go about there business. Watching chicks talking there first steps out of there safe nest and realising that they have the ability to fly, but just need coaxing and gentle persuasion from their parents.


When your 'mailbox' lights up red, which, reminds me.....
