If I were…

It’s a gray, gray snow day so I’m going to play along. Thanks, Kari.

If I were a month, I’d be September.

If I were a day, I’d be Sunday. 

If I were a time of day, I’d be when the sun hits the horizon.

If I were a sea animal, I’d be a pufferfish.

If I were a direction, I’d be northwest.

If I were a piece of furniture, I’d be a rocking chair.

If I were a liquid, I’d be rainwater.

If I were a gemstone, I’d be emerald.

If I were a tree, I’d be a crab apple.

If I were a tool, I’d be a spreadsheet.

If I were a flower, I’d be tulips.

If I were an element of weather, I’d be a tornado.

If I were a musical instrument, I’d be a piano.

If I were a color, I’d be yellow.

If I were an emotion, I’d be joy.

If I were a fruit, I’d be a plum.

If I were a sound, I’d be waves crashing.

If I were an element, I’d be osmium.

If I were a car, I’d be a Chevy Camaro.

If I were a food, I’d be asparagus.

If I were a place, I’d be a beach on Lake Michigan.

If I were a material, I’d be velvet.

If I were a taste, I’d be anise.

If I were a scent, I’d be fresh cut lumber.

If I were a song, I’d be “You Are My Sunshine”.

If I were a bird, I’d be a junco.

If I were a gift, I’d be…I am a gift 😉

If I were a city, I wouldn’t be.

If I were a door, I’d be a screen door.

If I were a pair of shoes, I’d be brightly colored clogs.

If I were a poem, I’d be Good Bones by Maggie Smith.

      Thanks, Kari!! It was a fun exercise (especially in not letting myself over think!)

    There are a few that make me want to know more: Why a spreadsheet? And why northwest? That, with you being an emerald and the scent of fresh cut lumber, makes me think you might be a northwest girl at heart. And that you should come visit our part of the country and see me. 🙂

      Oooh. Thank you for asking, Rita and the invitation! I was just talking to my niece last night about how I think in another life I would have loved to live somewhere along that coastline (though I do think I’m more of a freshwater Great Lakes girl at the end of the day). A spreadsheet because I love information, synthesizing and categorizing it, and sharing it in a useful format. (Hence my accounting background and dream of being a librarian!)

      North because I’m a bit like the junco that travels north in the summer – I like cooler temps and snow. West because I love a sunset.

      Fresh cut lumber (mixed with a little cigarette smoke) will always make me think of my grandpa, who was a brick mason/carpenter. In retirement, he built beautiful wood furniture in his “shoulda shop” and my kitchen table is an oak table he built my mom.

      It would be so wonderful to sit at a table and chat with you in person, Rita.

        Oh, I would love to have a chat at that table (something Marian and I have wished for, too)! And I love that your kitchen table was built by your grandpa! Mine was a welder/machinist/inventor who turned to woodworking in retirement. I treasure a bowl he made me, and I have some chunky holders for pillar candles that I got after my grandma died. A whole table sounds like a dream. And, for whatever it’s worth, I think you’d make a fabulous librarian. Thank you for telling me more. 🙂

    I love this sort of blog post. I am intrigued by the idea of your taste being anise. I’m instantly reminded of my aunt getting out her old-fashioned German rolling pin with the designs on it and making springerle cookies at Christmastime. I like tulips too. And a screen door? Oh that is charming, too.
