What a wonderful post!!!!! (you deserve five exclamation points).
Complete with song, even.
And what a wonderful sense of humor!!!!!
If I listed my favorite things, it would take almost forever, because I am a pushover. But really good pea soup is on the list. And lentil. And navy bean. And potato. And oh, on and on and on.
I can say, along with Goethe's Faust, when he was waiting for the Devil to take him in payment for his bargain, and he looked out over the world that he would be leaving behind,
"Verweile doch, du bist so schoen!"
(Oh, still delay, thou art so fair!!!!!!) (Six exclamation points for that one.
Or, to paraphrase Ovid,
"Currete, currete lente, noquis equi!
(Run slowly, slowly, you horses of the night!!!!!!)
The simple world of pea soup and beech leaves and sunrise and sunset and mountains and streams is beautiful enough for me, and I wish I never had to go. |
