Randi is hosting Let’s Get Real Monday and her topic is the 5 senses. Admittedly, when I first read the topic I was clueless as to what I could do with it, but with a little thought I used it to put together last week in review:
Smell:
Stop and smell the flowers!
Sight:
On Memorial Day we went to a lovely mountain park, where we used our sense of sight to find two letterboxes!
Touch:
At that same mountain park, I got in the frigid water with my camera (yes, I know I’m crazy) and followed two of my kids up the stream taking pictures. Although my feet were numb when I emerged, it was very refreshing, like the cold but invigorating water of the foot washing service at communion.
Taste:
I made pumpkin pie Saturday afternoon, and here are two in the oven. I was using a recipe which makes two pies, but in my mind I was thinking I needed to double the recipe. About halfway through I realized that while I had made two crusts, I was making the filling for four pies. I popped across the street to my neighbor’s, got a pie pan from her, and returned it to her with a hot pumpkin pie. At least if I have to be a confused cook, I had the opportunity to be a good neighbor in the process.
Hearing:
Is anything sweeter than a baby’s laugh?
Wonderful! I can smell the pie from here! *Wishful thinking*
You’re right… Nothing sweeter!
Or sweeter than the baby’s grin! Too cute! You daughter with the daisies is adorable too.
What sweet pictures your children are beautiufl. That was nice of you you are a sweet neighbor. God knew all along tht you would be making that pumpkin pie for your neighbor maybe she needed it. Char
The picture of your daughter with the flowers is frame-worthy! And only a mom would wade into an ice cold stream to get the perfect shot.
I love the pure joy on your baby’s face! What a nice neighbor your are, too!
🙂
Great photos, all, but the last one really does take the cake! What a sweetie!
What an adorable baby smile! Precious! The letterboxes look like fun; the frigid water does not ~ lol! What a great solution to your pie dilemma! I have doubled our pancake recipe on more than one occasion forgetting that I had already doubled it when I copied it onto the recipe card. *sigh* You can never really have too many pancakes, can you? ;o)
Oh, that last picture is just the BEST! What a cutie!
