Thoughts about life and current events from the perspective of a retired guy with too much time on his hands.

What's on Your List?
As the year draws to a close, the need is strong in the hearts of pundits, bloviators and blogsters to offer their personal list of the Best, Worst, Funniest, Lamest ... You know how it goes.
I am not immune to such pressures, so here is my list of the most subtle pleasures I can think of in 30 seconds:
A cold pint of IPA on draft
The smell of Bacon sizzling in a pan
The sound of wind in the tall pines
Waves rhythmically crashing on shore on a warm sandy beach
Heat lightning
Warm Gingerbread
Wes Montgomery on the radio
Home-made gravy
A Summer afternoon nap
A Snowblower that starts on the first pull
A clever retort
(Time's up)
What does your list look like?
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
ReplyDeleteBright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
Quite poetic.
