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?
Hi Arlene!
ReplyDeleteIsn'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,
