I love a situation expressed as のどか (nodoka).
"Nodoka" means that something is quiet, calm, and relaxing, or the weather is serene and mild.
For example, you can say 今日はのどかだなあ (kyou wa nodoka dana - Today is peaceful).
のど (nodo) of "nodoka" is an ancient word that means that something is calm.
By adding the suffix か (ka) that means that something is in a certain state to "nodo", "nodoka" was created.
"Nodoka" is usually used for a mood or weather.
However, note that if you use it for a person, it can be an ironic meaning.

のどか
私は「のどか」な状況が大好きです。
「のどか」は、静かでのんびりとして落ち着いているさまや、天気が良く穏やかなさまを表す言葉です。
例えば「今日はのどかだなあ」のように使います。
「のどか」の「のど」は、穏やかなさまを意味する古語です。
これに、ある状態であることを表す接尾語「か」がついて、「のどか」になったというわけです。
「のどか」は基本的に気分や気候に対して使う言葉ですが、人に対して使うと皮肉に聞こえる可能性があるので注意して下さい。
