Go back and read this post for the story behind "Five Small Things Friday".
For this week, here is my list:
1. Sight: Late-afternoon Sun And Scenery
2. Hearing: Dad Playing The Piano
3. Smell:
4. Taste: Trissy's Gumbo
5. Touch: Crocheting
The stories behind the list:
1. The late-afternoon sun-and-pasture scene I tell about towards the end of this post.
2. When I was a very little kid, I can remember Dad playing hymns at the piano while Trissy and I went to sleep in the next room. He is not what you'd call an 'accomplished' pianist, but he is extremely meticulous, and has a wonderful soothing touch. Over the years, we've loved it when he sits down to play a hymn or two, especially since he doesn't do it much. Saturday he was passing through the living room, and sat down at the piano and played a little bit. He's usually just played whatever hymn the hymnal was open to on the piano (though "Oh Come, Angel Band" was his favorite, and he often looks it up especially), and this time it was "I Gave My Life For Thee". We really need to get him to play more.

4. Trissy made chicken gumbo and rice this week and it was actually very good! Very good! I was surprised; I'm not usually a gumbo fan, but this had just the right mix of spices and was really delicious. Trissy's getting to be quite a cook.
5. I crocheted a scarf this week, to enter in the fair in September. What a wonder to be able to feel the texture of the yarn, to be able to control the hook, to guide the pattern so it comes out into a finished, usable item! How God provided the number of fingers on the human hand that He knew would be most beneficial, how He arranged the nerves to be so sensitive to feel, how He enabled the mental and the physical to work together so effortlessly to accomplish a task - it's amazing.
