My Kreativ Blogger Award: a meme

Thanks to Windows Toward the World for my Kreativ Blogger award, i. e., this:

Now I must list seven things I like, which I do in no particular order.

1. Books. The way they feel, the way they smell, the wonderful words they can contain. And like Jo March, to go with books I like

2. Apples — old-fashioned ones like winesap and rome beauty and the little mealy green one called a June apple. “The June Apple” is also the name of an old fiddle. I found these lyrics, though we always sang the verse below to “Cindy,” and it was Cindy who’d take the bite.

Wish I was a june apple
Hanging on a tree
Everytime my true love pass
Take a bite of me
Take a bite of me my love
Take a bite of me
Everytime my true love pass
take a bite of me.

3. Early mornings, the sunrise, the dawn birdsong, the absence of industrial hum. It’s a great time to read.

4. Writing, poetry best of all. When it’s going, there’s no bigger thrill.

5. The smell of fresh-turned earth in spring

6. The smell of black locust blooms and honeysuckle

7. The smell of new-mown hay

Golly. That’s seven already.

Seven bloggers? I give the award, do the meme if you like folks.
