For Today, November 12, 2011...
I am seeing...another b-e-a-utiful South Florida morning. It was 60 degrees when we got up this morning, and is probably only a few degrees higher now. The breeze is crisp, the sun is shining, it's definitely fall - finally!
I am feeling...tired lately, thanks to Daylight Savings Time. I'm dozing off in my chair at 8:30 at night. I hope my body adjusts to this soon. I'm up before the alarm clock goes off and asleep before the chickens. :P
I am hearing...my son play with his Beyblades. They're like tops, but much more sophisticated than the ones we played with when I was a kid.
I am tasting...the coffee I had this morning. In a little while I'll be tasting some yummy holiday tea. I got Candy Cane Lane this week, which has a peppermint candy cane taste to it. Scrumptious! Or maybe I'll have some more gingerbread spice tea. Both make it feel like the holidays.
I am smelling...the wonderful smells of fall in Florida. Folks plant flowers, myself included, to keep the air smelling nice. I got some purple petunias on my front porch that are so pretty, I like to catch a glimpse of them through the window. Marigolds in my backyard planter also smell like fall to me.
It just takes a moment to observe your surroundings. Won't you join me?
Finally April~

Hi Arlene!
Isn't it funny how things can be so different on the other side of the country?! It was so cold and snowy here this morning that I wanted to crawl under the covers and stay there!
My petunias and marigolds are all gone, frozen and black . . . :0( But, the smell of marigolds also remind me of Fall, they are one of my favorite flowers. I'm so glad that you are able to have them year round!
I also love the holiday teas that they come out with each year! My favorite, although it's not a holiday tea is, Bengal Spice, lots of cinnamon in it!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Hugs,
Barb
