There’s a song from my childhood that I absolutely adore. And what’s more, my dad loves it too. I guess you could say it’s something we share. He used to play it on the record player. And when I was big enough, I would do the same.

It begins: Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Is it any wonder I love the song? I love my kitties and my middle name is Rose.

The last line of each verse is “these are a few of my favorite things.”

Today was filled with favorites.

Lazy Saturday mornings and sweet doggie snuggles
Cold winter weather and Kitty cuddles
warm husband hugs and Vermont Cheddar Mac and Cheese.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Now it’s your turn. What are a few of your favorite things?

Here are all the lyrics to the song.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad

[Repeat all verses]
