sounds

Come on girls this is an easy one...and maybe some of you guys will tell us why you like leather so much. I like leather because I like the smell and feel of it. And I like to hear it. It always takes me back to the days when I had horses. I loved to hear that leather saddle....you know when your getting up on the horse and you hear that leather it always takes me back to the wild west days...its funny how you remember sounds isnt it? Like the crickets chirping at night...and when I was little and I would go to my Grandparents cabin my Grandfather would always sit on the screened in porch and listen to the ballgame....I can still hear it in my mind. And when we went to the cabin we had to drive on a gravel road and I can still remember the sound of the stones hitting on the car. That was how I always knew we were getting close.

I love the sound of a clock ticking at night while I am going to sleep. My Grandmother always had one of those wind up alarm clocks and thats what I think of when I hear it. Those are all sounds from my past. The sounds I like to hear now are much different...I like to hear my Grandchildren laughing and playing.....I like to hear a thunderstorm when I can lay on the swing on my deck and just enjoy it. I like to hear the Church bells which are very close to my house. I like hearing rain on my windows.....and I love the silence of a new snowfall.

What are some of your favorite sounds?

I hope you all are enjoying your holiday!!!

I used to enjoy riding and the smell of the sadle. There are lots of sounds that bring back memories. The sound of the twon clock striking the hour, the sound of birds on the courthouse ledge, a lawn mower cutting grass.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sound of rain and thunder. Especially while sleeping.

I also like church bells. I used to live on the end of a main street that had several churches on it. And Sunday mornings were always so beautiful to hear. I think the churches must have synchronized it because all the bells seemed to just flow well together.

thanks for the visit by my place today.

my favorite sounds? my 10 year old son's laugh is music to my ears. it's a hearty belly laugh that bubbles all the way up from his toes and it is quite infectious. my 13 year old girl singing. my 15 year old playing her trumpet. and i completely agree with you on the silence of a heavy snow. the whole world is muffled and hushed. i love it.

Their is something about a girl in leather.

As far as my favorite sounds, I love the crackling of a campfire. It sets me at ease.

Leather has never done anything for me, cept make me sweat.ha!
Give me some silk or satin.
I love the smell of a pot of coffee brewing, or the sweet smell of apples when you walk through the orchard. The sound of the belly laugh from the baby gets a big ol wide grin from me.

I love the sounds of crisp leaves in the fall, the sound of a baby's cooing, the sound of gentle kissing and the the sound of water be it the creek near my house or the ocean.

Hungry Teapot said...

Must say, I'm not a very big fan of leather myself. I like the look of your blog though. Nice Neon theme.

Just passing from Dr.John
