T.I.L.T.(Things I Love Thursday): the scent of a freshly-painted room; a hard, spring rain; buckwheat pancakes with maple syrup; cooking a big meal for friends; wind chimes; the way my hair feels after a fresh cut; Civil War history; watching the dog prance after she’s been groomed and knows she’s pretty; hearing Mark Tabata preach; and using Johnson’s Baby Lotion after a long, hot shower.

T.I.L.T.(Things I Love Thursday): wearing flannel pajamas on cool nights; the scent of wild honeysuckle by my back steps; my girls’ pink and purple “retro” bedroom; having an entire evening to myself to just read; eating popcorn and watching Gone with the Wind for the gazillionth time; seeing my mom wear the hat and scarf I crocheted her for Christmas; the cloud of violet blooms, bursting forth on Mom’s tulip tree; and homemade quilts.

T.I.L.T.(Things I Love Thursday): The courtroom scene from TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD; drinking “Totally Nuts” coffee at my kitchen table and chatting with an old friend; getting surprise packages in the mail; finding money I didn’t know I had in a forgotten jacket pocket; reading handwritten notes and cards; splashing barefoot in rain puddles; the scent of fresh-cut grass; crispy chicken, fried in a cast-iron skillet; and seeing my girl dolled up in her new Easter dress.

T.I.L.T.(Things I Love Thursday): homemade peanut butter fudge; sleeping with my window open on summer nights, listening to the frogs; that “new car” smell; watching old Carol Burnett skits; going bowling with the kids because I always win; creeping the walls of my FB friends; licking the spoon after making brownie batter; history of the Tudor dynasty; lounging in a hammock; and natural-grain hardwood floors.
