My favourite thing at the start of every holiday is when I wake up at my usual time and I enjoy the quiet stillness before anyone else is awake. #favouritethings #summerholiday

Frogspawn in shallows and birdsong in copses,
Sunshine on catkins and swathes of snowdropses,
Hours of daylight as heralds of spring:
These are a few of my favourite things

Maybe too much information but these are a few of my #favouritethings
💚 Cats in cardboard boxes (or under newspapers)
💚 That elevated feeling after a really good live music show
💚 Walking on the beach in the cool early morning
💚 Planting trees. Planting anything really.
💚 Out bike riding with the wind behind me
💚 When my son makes nachos
💚 Discovering an amazing new music artist
💚 Fixing something that was doomed for landfill
💚 Starting a deep new book (nonfiction)
💚 The smell of healthy damp soil

Today in #FavouriteThings I just got done mixing up a rhubarb upside down cake for my birthday with my beloved beat-up old Hamilton Beach Mixette, a family heirloom from before I was born, before #PlannedObsolescence. I've had this 30 years (but it's much older than that) and I'll probably never need another mixer in my life.

One of the things I love is Ancient Sanskrit poetry. If you like Sapho, you may enjoy these too. There are some gorgeous translations by Andrew Shelling. "Dropping the Bow" Poems from Ancient India being one of my favorite collections.

Quickly, in secret
protecting the girl
whose lover has
left her, friends
snip the buds
as they appear
on the jasmine.

- Rajashekhara
