i adore ~
my beautiful, brilliant, funny daughters; acting really stupid...sometimes; big hugs;
all things celtic & french; that time of day when the sun turns everything to gold; wearing men's shirts; my circle of friends...both old and new; that first cup of coffee in the morning; brightly painted toenails; lovely glasses of wine; books, and having time to read them; the smell of summer rain, fresh cut oranges and woodsmoke in autumn; new england...i miss living there...alot; "do-nothing" days; laughing until my stomach hurts; great music of any kind; random acts of kindness; driving on warm summer nights with the windows down...and the music WAY up; shooting stars; walking in newly-fallen snow and warm fuzzy socks.
If you're in America...it's an election year. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!
