Life's Simple Pleasures

I live with and care for my aging mother so getting away for personal time is limited . When I can get away , I enjoy sitting by the creek with my dog in the shade of an old cottonwood .
you can usually hear the Meadow Larks , and each evening about dusk a pillated woodpecker returns to his home in one of the cottonwoods
Often a buddy of mine brings his dog out and we have a couple Caesars and shoot the breeze
Another simple pleasure is just doing a good job at something , when someone recognizes the effort I put into a form and my accuracy makes their job easier , I like that
 
"What are your simple pleasures in life?"
Sitting in my back yard drinking Hendricks and Topo watching my ducksand listening to the Greatful Dead. Am also working on my "even though you think I'm too old, I am gonna do this and either succeed or die failing greatly" project. As you can surmise, it involves a boat and a several thoudand mile adventure solo.
 
Early AM hikes (particularly in the fall), a cold Guinness and a Premier League Soccer game on TV, bourbon on the rocks on a winter evening, the occasional afternoon nap and re-reading favorite books.
