I love the smell of wood burning fires, rainy days and salt air.
I love my gardens, birds on my feeder,
Critters in my yard
…and my cats.

I love my friends and neighbors and my family.
Listening to music, beautiful things, children’s laughter,
Reading a book in the sunroom
…in my favorite chair.

I love having tea in the early morning on my porch.
Train rides. Cooking and having family or friends for dinner.
Walks. Simple kind gestures.
…Quiet. 

Most all all I love love
…and my son.
