Filling in the sensory blanks.......

Describing my living room.....

SIGHT
Lively daffodils straining to reach the sun, clinging to life
Lost booty peeking from its hiding place under the table
Serenity pouring from pictures of tropical scenes

SOUND
Thumpity thump of the washing machine in the next room
The stark silence left after the children leave
The comforting hum of the heater

TOUCH
The smooth, hard, cool surface of the coffee table
Bumpy carpet massaging bare toes
The enveloping warmth of soft fluffy furniture
Or
Being ensconced by the warmth of soft fluffy furniture

SMELL
Occasional smell of gardenia
Smell of crisp rain rushing in with the quick opening of the door
