These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things"

Yes, today I suddenly feel like Julie Andrews in the movie musical, The Sound Of Music.

However, don't worry...I won't subject you to watching me TWIRL around on a mountain top while singing, "The hills are alive...with the sound of music."

But I do wish to share a few of my favorite things, so I put together some photographs of several things that DO kind of make me want to twirl around though.

And here they are...

A freshly made turkey wrap with lettuce, tomato and bacon with a Caesar dressing. HEAVENLY.

Pears. I love PEARS more than my own life!

Asparagus. This is probably my very favorite veggie on the face of the planet. I especially love the tips.

A Heath Bar. Whenever I eat one of these decadent candy bars, I have to grab onto something heavy to ground me because I always feel like I'm going to have an out-of-body experience.

Instructions for eating a Heath Bar:
1. Break off a piece of the bar and place it on your tongue. Then close your eyes.
2. Don't chew, allow the chocolate to slowly melt off the toffee center.
3. Once completely melted, begin to chew the toffee center, but slowly...savoring every single morsel.
I guarantee if you eat a Heath Bar like this you'll hear angels singing, and voice quietly saying, "Come to the light, Carol Anne...come to the light."

A stormy sky. I took this photo a year and a half ago, while I was visiting my mother and brother in Florida. We were having dinner at a restaurant as this storm rolled in.

Train travel. My favorite way to travel!

The clock on City Hall in Philadelphia. I love that I can look out my apartment window at anytime, day or night, and see what time it is. And yes, this clock even GONGS every hour on the hour. I adore that sound.
