Me too on Outdoors.

  Watching spring unfold.

The change in the animals as they feel spring unfold.

Watching babies find their voices and their legs.

Learning that learning never ends.

Baby animals.

So, does family and friends count as favorite thing?  

  Oh, I like flowers... especially the blossoms over by Burrard Station.  The trees are all lined up in  a row, side by side and the branches just arc and the blossoms are just beautiful

  I love the mountains, lakes, animals, waterfalls, etc.

You do have a delightful laughter, Ms. Lil Me. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif)

Oh, I have to agree with laughing as well, Lil Me. :))  Laughing means that you're having fun. :)
Title: Re: My Favourite Things
Post by: Lil Me on Apr 04 07 09:43
When you laugh, you relax and it makes everything ok.  
Title: Re: My Favourite Things
Post by: purelife on Apr 04 07 09:50
Yep agree and bless yer. :))

  At one job, I'd laugh so much that I couldn't stop myself.  I also find that I laugh too much when I'm under lots of stress.

Laughter is an EXCELLENT one.

  There isn't a tonic out there that can make me feels as cleansed as a good laugh.

Oh, I absolutely love to see older people happy together, still holding hands and smacking each other's booty. ;)  

  There was this lovely older couple that I met and they always make me happy.  Just thinking about them, makes me all warm inside.  When I was showing them an apartment suite (they were a potential buyer), they were so cute together, still calling each other babe and sweety, still holding hands, still joking and laughing with each other, still have that fire-burning love for one another...they were the most happiest and the most cutest couple I've ever seen.

Well, certainly not cultivated flowers - just ordinary blades of grass.
Title: Re: My Favourite Things
Post by: purelife on Apr 04 07 11:32
Speaking of grass, do you ever take a bamboo green leaf and put it in between your thumb and blow on it?  The sound it makes is kinda squeeky but I used to do it all the time when I was a kid...I still do it now only if I pass by that plant.
Title: Re: My Favourite Things
Post by: Gopher on Apr 04 07 11:33
Yes, but I've not done it for ages. Thanks for reminding me of this, I'll have go at it this afternoon.The innocent childhood joys never fail to appeal.

Did  you ever hold a buttercup under your chin?
Title: Re: My Favourite Things
Post by: kitten on Apr 04 07 11:39
Sure.  Also made dandelion chains.
Title: Re: My Favourite Things

We should all meet up and do these things.

Post by: P.C. on Apr 04 07 11:59
This all reminds of a trick my sister played on me once.  She handed me a buttercup and told me to hide it.  Then she took a dandelion that had gone to seed.....the fuzzy ones.  She said it will bend all by itself when it comes near where the buttercup is hidden.  She proceeded to slowly pass it over my hands....up behind my ears......etc.  When she got to my mouth, she made it jiggle a bit and said OH? it's in your mouth.  Nope I said.  Open your mouth then and it will bend if it's there.

  Have you ever tried to spit out a thousand fuzzy dandelion seeds.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a093.gif" border=0]

Funny all my memories are country-farm related.
Summer evening, sun is setting, its hot out but the drive is oh so sweet on the country roads
walking through the fields
driving an atv down the country roads at dusk.
Driving home from the farm at sunset.
