tasting:
ahi tostadas with cabbage, black beans, and avocado
home made strawberry ice cream
seeing:
bright nasturtiums popping up around the neighborhood
fields of gorgeous lavender with a stunning view of Mt. Hood behind them (more soon!)
hearing:
(you know I had to post this) this video
"for today" by the avett brothers
touching:
the fern like texture of astilbes as i cut them from the plant
the slight burn of chemicals in a small wound as i try and make a polaroid transfer
smelling:
the soothing smell of the lavender bouquet i cut and brought home
the dampness of the ground around a waterfall
****************************************
If you post a five senses post please feel free to link to it in the comments! Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Those tostadas look DELICIOUS. Definitely a summer essential.
