Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.
And Coffee, tea, chocolate and tobacco! All in an old book!!
And yes, I am absolutely smoking a pipe and enjoying a coffee while I am reading this. Americano from my favorite coffee place and Esoteric Woodbridge in the world’s slowest coloring meerschaum pipe - for inquiring minds, lol.
I'm just doing some of my favourite things.
Just chilling. Family in a different room so peace and quiet.

At work in a factory all by myself. One of my top favorite things.
Great penmanship! I've been wanting to get back into journaling. What is your notebook of choice, there?
Thanks
This is a cheap one from a supermarket. No brand name. Paper is a bit thin, but it does the job.
I have tried Clairefontaine and Rhodia which is nicer paper. #
When we went into covid lockdown and started working from home. I liberated the office of notebooks and paper. For work purposes (more or less)
The paper I really wanted was the toilet paper. But that had already been liberated by another department.
Oh man, don't remind me!
The Rhodias look nice and simple. Never heard of that brand before.
I used to have a leather-bound journal with hand-made paper. It was cool for the novelty, but the paper was way too thick to be practical. I went a little too "Lewis and Clark" with it, I think.
Some of your five a day.
Fat, sugar, coffee nicotine and alcohol.
Going back to the original post. Its interesting how even though they had the letter "S", they often ufed the letter f inftead. Or at leaft a form of f.
And tea as thee.
Fascinating
Spent some time thinking about it. My favorite thing has to be sitting in a recliner on my back porch with my dogs, a cup of coffee, some elderberry cobbler, and a pipe while watching a thunderstorm in the middle of summer.
That sounds like a great afternoon. Can't say I ever had elderberry cobbler, but I do enjoy pretty much any cobbler.
A holdover from my grandmother's kitchen. She made them worlds better than I do.
Growing up: baseball or backyard football.
College: porching it with a beverage, cigar, and tunes while watching the bar crowd stumble home on sorority row.
Grad school: porching it with a beverage and book while smoking a cigar.
Now: early morning pipe with a bottomless cup of coffee and perhaps a book before the household awakens.
All throughout my life: cooking. It's one of the few things that involves all five senses (and only one with clothes on), while sharing your soul and experiences with others.

How very Hiftorical
Putting pen to paper is an overlooked mental acuity/health benefit. Unfortunately it has become a lost therapeutic.
