Vegetable gardening for me. Nothing like playing in the dirt. Throw in some seeds, a little fertilizer, water and then wait. Few months later and all the hard work really pays off. MMMM nothing like fresh vegetables.

Listening to my iTunes library on random and coming across a song that I really love that I haven't heard in an extremely long time.
There will come a day when I tire of listening to 80's music. That day is not today.

I used to hang out at coffee shops in college. I haven't in years.
I tried Dunkin Donuts coffee recently. It's good, nice change. But Starbuck's -omg. yum!The Watchmen

Like Starbucks, but often find that the local small/indie roasters are, IMHO, far superior. If I can score me some Indian Monsoon Malabar its a very very good thing.Originally Posted by agsuper

loading a bunch of new songs on the iPod and anticipating working out to them. It makes me look so much more forward to the work out.

Walking around in the yard with the wife and checking out all our fruit trees to see how they are growing and sitting on the back porch with the wife drinking coffee at dusk and listening to the birds sing around the neighborhood.

I do mostly flower gardening, also with beans & pumpkins. Unfortunately we bought a house near a street that I wasn't aware was a huge thoroughfare for 15 hours a day (the traffic seemed ok when we looked at the house). The noise ends up pissing me off almost every day....no "quiet time" outside.... I would've never moved here,ever if I'd known how bad the traffic was....Due to finances we can't afford to move now.Originally Posted by daltrey

jumping in puddles...this brings back a great memory for me. Our last trip to Disney we went to animal kingdom and it was a total downpour that day...the entrance to the park flooded out and was about shin deep water on me at 6'4" tall. Me, my daughter and my neice who were both about 7 at the time went out in the puddles jumping around...man did they love that....wife thought I had lost it...but pffffffftttttt...she should know betterOriginally Posted by kimm4
another big one for me is waking up early in the morning while camping, building a fire and sipping on a cup of coffee as the sun is coming up."Some people are like Slinkies. They're not really good for anything but they sure bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs."
