simple pleasures

I like taking my tea, mildly sweetened, on the front steps overlooking the fields at sunset after a summer thunderstorm.

I like waking up without an alarm clock, and rolling around under crisp white linen sheets for a good hour or so before actually getting up. Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.

I like giving dogs belly rubs and watching them snort with pleasure as they roll around in the grass.

I like reading good books in the sunshine for hours, floppy hat, and praying for freckles.

I love a good tomato.
