31 Day Blog Challenge, Day Eleven: Fifteen of my Favorite Things

At first I thought about taking "Things" literally and naming my objects that I am most attached to, like my Swiss Army knife, my piano, guitars and flutes and other instruments, or my precious books or jewelry, but then I decided to give answer more in the vein of the famous song.  So here goes:

1.  The smell of a mountain meadow in the summer sun
2.  A tankful of gerbils all looking my way
3.  How  simple chores like cooking and washing dishes become fun and relaxing when you are doing them with minimalist gear at a picnic table in a campsite.
4. My cozy bedroom surrounded by trees full of birdsong
5. Bats diving for insects on a summer evening.
6. Receiving a mysterious package containing a set of four bottles of prescriptive jellybeans that correct the humours.  (Such a package arrived today from my BFF!!  :D)
7.  Delicious gourmet pizzas thrown together by my husband from fresh ingredients we have on hand.  Yay summertime!
8.  Having so many pieces of art on display in the house that I can't really list them all.
9. Tamish neighborhood rabbits
10.  The night sky in the wintertime when Orion rises
11.  Working with a kid to help them perform a piece of music
12. Successfully cleaning the house so that it looks sleek and functional like a grownup lives here
13. Finishing a story or a poem or a song (and getting good comments)
14. Laughing my head off with loved ones
15.  Fannish squee!  (My Claude Rains figure also came today!)
