I thought that we had a thread along these lines somewhere , but I searched and searched , and we have a few of the opposite , but no threads devoted to things that we like. Considering the perceived negative vibes floating around here lately , I thought it would be nice to have a thread devoted to the thinks that bring smiles to your faces , and a warm feeling in your soul...
What really inspired this thread , is the new growth on pine trees at this time of year. You know , those thin , almost needleless fingers poking up , one larger one in the middle? I always think that the tree is flipping me the bird ! These picture don't show it as well as the trees in my neighbourhood , but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about....
What else?
The warm feeling that I get when my kids tell me that they love me.
Working on my Christmas Tree Farm , watching the trees take shape , year after year , getting closer to the day that they will beautify peoples living rooms.
A sunny day , after a morning of rain , or a rainy day , after weeks of sun ( especially the smell that come with it)
Returning to the coast , after being more than 100 miles away , the first hint that you get that you're getting close , is the unmistakable smell of the salt water , that you only notice when you've been away.
The first plump blackberry of the year.
Swimming on a moonless night , in the ocean , in the summer , the phosphorescence makes the water look like cold fire.
The anticipation , 1/2 hour before the first episode of a new season of Trailer park Boys.
Ladies , in their new summer clothes.
