to like and not to like

Loving, not liking ~

My favourite piece of music ever. Epic, truly amazing, covers the whole spectrum of human emotion. I know it because I feel so every single time. I adore and can listen to this indefinitely, every day forever. We managed to unstick our old cassette player in the car and now this follows us along the country lanes. If music has ever achieved perfection in every sense it must be here. My kids request it, so there. In may be named Winter but it's my Summer listening.

not liking ~

crowds, people, towns, hot days - in combo



liking ~

the way that green is the colour of my days



liking ~

the unfurling of life all around me





liking ~

bare skin in the sun



not liking ~

having to clean my house, even just a bit, because being outdoors is more tempting, but still it is pleasing to see the hall start to take on the look of summer muddled in there with our winter 'stuff'.



liking ~

my bedroom window open, at night again now and the sound of the stream washing over
me

liking ~

quick meals; home made burgers (minced lamb/venison/rabbit beef with mustard, egg, mint, chives and seasoning) eaten with a big salad

liking ~

that I can wander outside and pick herbs for dinners



liking ~

the way the table gradually fills up over the course of a day, people doing and leaving and moving on and running in and out the front door (which is open from dawn 'till dusk right now) - and then dinner time lolls around and I simply plonk a jar of knives and forks down and we eat around it. Or better still, uplift ourselves and eat outdoors.





liking ~

striped legs



and coloured chalk





and boys who make bows and arrows, constantly



liking ~

how we all have time to stare, wonder and dream and lean over fences and wear what the heck we like, or nothing at all.







liking ~

finding myself lost, visually, where ever we may be, in the growth of every little tree, branch,seedling and flower (I think this was a car park and I think I was staring at swishing leaves)





liking ~

stream





and hill



liking ~

little girls that take such a long time explaing what purpose has a ladder





and ones who close their eyes and lift their heads to feel the seed blossom land on their faces



really liking that there's more to love in life today than not, as evident in this quick post :)
