Things I Love...

I love the light of a late afternoon in Autumn. You know... that almost atmospheric glow. When everything around you has an intense color and the clouds (in a rich and deep blue sky) are a perfect combination of dark gray and the whitest whites.
I love the smell of freshly cut grass.
I love the smell of creosote.
I love the sight of rain falling on the horizon, like chalk smudged against the sky.
I love the smell of an impending rain.
I love the seeing the stars at night. Although I miss the intensity they once had. Thanks light pollution.
I love densely forested areas. The cool shade. The earthy smell of rotting wood, fungus and fern followed by the sweet smell of pine.
I love the dense muted silence of a steady snowfall.
I love M&M's
I love the sound of cicadas.
I love peonies. There I said it!
I love the sound of church bells tolling in the distance.
I love wide open spaces.
I love barns.
I love old houses.
I love the smell of a wood burning fire. Unless it's a neighbors house. That really happened once!
I love getting my hands dirty working with plants.
I love the sound of a train clacking along.
I love the sound of a distant highway while sleeping.
I love the tic tic sound of the car tires passing over seams in the road.
I love Ohio.
