The smell of Lilac in the Spring.

The smell of hardwood smoke on a crisp autumn night.

The smell and taste of a home cooked meal on a cold winter night.

Snuggling up with a good book and a cup of primo hot chocolate.

The blaze of color in a New England Fall.

The riot of color that comes in the Spring.

Laughing and running in a warm summer rain.

The Sky just before the sun pops up over the eastern horizon.

Sunset when it sets the sky on fire with oranges, pinks and an incredible color of purple that no man can duplicate with any manmade pigment.

Music of all types.

and so much more...

Looking forward to 2007 and hopefully a renewal of spirit for everyone.

I love your list FS, not having seen a NE fall, I would love to as I have read a few John irving books, he should be made Tourist minister for NE, I want to see it.

Family: getting cuddles from my daughters, friends, interesting things (hobbies), being able to read, woodsmoke, dawn, a decent sunset, clear skies, rainstorms, wild seas, smell of forest floors (mulch), hum of insects in summer, seeing people get on.

Aw I am a hippy.

A personal fave is the tree has a spring green with a splash of almost hot pink and yellow. Absolutely gorgeous.

If you're ever over here, we'll have to take you and your family up to the White Mountains along the scenic Kangamangus highway.

I quit fancy a visit to the states, we have invites to visit family in Texas, why can't they move to NE?

Teaching children to swear.

Openly confronting the passive-aggressive.

Telling people that their misfortunes are well deserved.

Eating in front of the hungry.

And of course, the old standby, flicking people's ears in the cold.

Oh, I think this might be on the wrong thread...

Oooh, Oooh!

Throwing down a fiver in the middle of 6 or more winos, and watching them fight over it.

Suggesting subtly to mean-spirited 'beautiful people', etc, that they are putting on weight.

Superglueing quarters to walkways in malls to watch people try to pick them up.

Aiming for puddles next to pedestrians as you drive by.

Pointing to insecure people and whispering to others.

Telling children that the best flavour can be gotten from a sherbert if they first wipe it through their hair.

(Am I the only one who thinks this thread has taken a weird turn? )

How about -

going into your horses stall in the early AM, when he is still asleep on the floor, and having him open his eyes and rest his head across your lap, showing complete trust (and affection) when he first sees you.

Smelling cooking over an open fire in the morning while engaged in fatuige duties collecting wood.

Hiking in the woods in autumn.

Reading a good book in front of a fire with a glass of claret.

Being one with ones mount when riding, and riding a happy, excited horse.

I have taught Norm a new trick - to kiss for a cookie. You ask him if he wants a 'cookie' (anything from a gingersnap to a peppermint, or even an alphalpha cube), and you present your cheek, and he nuzzles and lips you. Jenn says I have turned into a human PEZ dispenser, and if you turn your head at an inadveretant moment (like when someone starts a conversation with you, you run the risk of being horse slimed from nose to chin.
