Me in Metaphors


 
If I was a month, I would be October because that's when the mornings are crisp.

If I was a day of the week, I would be a lazy Sunday.

If I was a time of day, I would be sunset.

If I was a planet, I would be pluto, because it's been demoted to a dwarf.


If I was a sea animal, I'd be an otter because they are so clever and playful .


If I was a direction, I'd be up, because that's where I'm going in life.


If I was a piece of furniture, I would be a favorite arm chair where someone delves into a favorite book.

If I was a liquid, I'd be tea; simply good.


If I was a gemstone, I would be peridot.

If I was a tree, I'd be an aspen with their beautiful white bark.

If I was a flower, I'd be a gerber daisy, playful and beautiful.

If I was a kind of weather, I would be a summer breeze.
 
If I was a musical instrument, I would be a piano.

If I was a color, I would be mossy green.

If I was an emotion, I would be carelessly happy.

If I was a fruit, I would be a watermelon, juicy and so refreshing.

If I was a sound, I would be laughter, the kind you can't hold in.

If I was a food, I would be stir fry.

If I was a place, I'd be anywhere on the Mediterranean.

If I was a material, I would be teak
.

If I was a taste, I would be Reese's peanut butter cup
 
If I was a scent, I'd be Madagascan Vanilla with Indian Sandalwood.


p.s. I stole this from An Extended Vacay, (definitely a must-read by the way).

Ahh... to live in a tree


Wouldn't this be grand? This little girl, Sophie, submitted a design for a tree house competition and won, so her dream tree house was built right in her backyard. Check out this fabulous one and others at 7 Tremendous Tree Houses. These would definitely turn me into a tree-hugger. ;)
