This book is a feast for the senses. I read it while I was on vacation in Colorado. I spent many days out on the back porch in the warm, dry air and rediscovered my five senses. In these busy, stressful times many of us forget that we are sentient beings. We are bombarded with images, feelings, tastes, smells, and sounds all day long. Often we become blind to them. Diane Ackerman has written a book that gently says, "Come. Sit down. Get reacquainted with your senses." There is also a recipe for making homemade vanilla extract. Yummy.
