{ Five Senses Saturday - 02/16/2019 }

In October of 2006, I did my very first Five Senses Saturday.  I had seen another blogger do something similar in one of their posts, but it wasn't dedicated to a specific weekday, it was just a five senses post about what she had heard, seen and so on.

I wanted something specific to my Saturdays because if you remember back in those early blogging days, every day seemed to have a theme.  I think in a way it helped blogging, because you knew what you were doing on a certain day and you really never ran out of ideas.

Some of my favorites from back then would be Treasure Tuesday, Show and Tell Friday, Menu Plan Monday, Works for me Wednesday, of course my Slow Cooking Thursday and so on.

Good ol' days :)

Right, let's get on and take a quick look at this past week.
