The Sunday Five: A Snapshot in Time


This image is probably 1/500th of a second, fixed and preserved in time.  Let's see what is happening at this moment in your world. 

1: What can you smell? 

2: What can you see to your left? 

3: What can you hear? 

4: Is it warm, cool, or just comfortable where you are? 

5: Have you taken good care of yourself today? 

My answers: 

1: What can you smell? Coffee - I like mine iced 

2: What can you see to your left? Out the window, the tree closest to the window is still is still green, the one's in the distant are mostly yellow. 

3: What can you hear? Random music from my computer and the Rumba running in the other room. 

4: Is it warm, cool, or just comfortable where you are? Cool. 

5: Have you taken good care of yourself today? I slept well, took my pills, ate well, I think so.  I am doing something I enjoy, writing and asking my friends questions.  

Please share your answers in the comments.

  2. 1: What can you smell? Just a hint of the plug-in air freshener. Linen I think.

    2: What can you see to your left? Out the window, the lights from the building next door.

    3: What can you hear? My radio tuned to NPR.

    4: Is it warm, cool, or just comfortable where you are? It's cool at the moment.

    5: Have you taken good care of yourself today? I just took my daily pills and am about to go for a walk.

  3. 1. Almost nothing. But rarely have. All I can say is if *I* can smell it, the odor must be extremely strong.
    2. A throw pillow that Shep uses for his noggin and table lamp.
    3. The tinnitus in my ears. ....and a paper bag rattling downstairs, as 710 gets a sticky bun that I brought home from the bakery yesterday.
    4. It's cold. 30. But nothing unbearable.
    5. Well, it's 8:10a. I tried to sleep in (didn't work). Took the dog on a half-mile walk. There will be others coming soon.

  5. 1: What can you smell? Clean cold fresh air ... I'm sitting in a sunny spot on the back deck.

    2: What can you see to your left? A backyard filling up with leaves.

    3: What can you hear? The wind rustling branches.

    4: Is it warm, cool, or just comfortable where you are? It's very cold, almost cold, but in the sun it feels nice.

    5: Have you taken good care of yourself today? I have. I got some chores done and I'm ready to make some Red Beans and Rice for dinner. And maybe some cornbread.
