Five Senses Friday (er, Sunday) #28

Sunrise & Sunset, Thursday October 21

Feel:
• Work stress
• Short hair again
• Jittery while photographing in an overgrown section of a North Adams graveyard (pics to come this week)


Taste:
• Whole chicken roasted with apple cider vinegar, the leftover pieces simmering down into soup stock as I type this
• Local grass-fed beef burger with sauteed red onions
• A true Dark & Stormy, made with Goslings Dark Rum and their crisp ginger beer
• Captain Morgan & Coke. There's a good reason I stopped drinking these about 20 years ago, but apparently I needed to refresh my memory.
• Homemade mac & cheese


Hear:
• The slamming, clattering noises of a vintage candlepin bowling alley, with an adjacent dark bar and Friday night karaoke. This place could become habit-forming.
• Waking up to the sound of our friend rapping on the answer machine - inviting us to go rafting, no less
• A four year old boy critiquing art at MASS MoCA on Saturday. "That's art because it has lots of colors!" moving on to the next piece, "that's NOT art."
• Bottles smashing, one after the other, inside the bowels of the redemption machine


See:
• Deer in the fields, eating dropped apples
• Fog settling over the hills
• The shapes of branches bared for winter
• The obscene carrot...


Smell:
• Earthy beets from the cold garden
• Bacon
• Fresh baked bread at the local grocery
