TGIF!

For Yesterday…..I’m grateful for every great find and bargain at Goodwill and Thrift Stores.

For Today……

#1 - Gain Laundry Detergent and Dryer Sheets - I love the original scent and how it makes my clean laundry smell.

#2 - Bonfires - One of my favorite smells in the Fall.

#3 - Main Street, WDW - Gotta love the smell of The Confectionery when you walk by.

#4 Bonus - Pirates of the Caribbean - One of my favorite rides and the smell inside is very distinct - love it!

Coffee

Flowers

Grass

I’ve been blessed with a super sense of smell - I can smell stuff better than most people always have I’m horrible eyesight often times I can’t hear stuff but I can smell stuff coming in a mile away and sometimes that works out really well and other times it’s not so nice but I am very grateful that I can smell things because I would hate to go through life unable to smell

1. Treats made from scratch baking in the oven- bread, cinnamon rolls, cookies!

2. Coffee- love to smell it brewing, reminds me of my grandma.

3. Fresh country air- the corn in tassel, honey suckle blooming, fresh cut grass,

4 Maple Popcorn at the Canadian cart in EPCOT! Can't wait to get my bucket filled again!

I love how you said the smell of Christmas in the air dear PollyannaMom, I agree!

Homemade cookies baking
Fresh

Memories of kids and Champ and how much they loved popcorn.

1. Baking - agree with WLWildlife on this, the smell of anything baking in the oven whether sweet or savoury. One of the many reasons why I love baking.

2. Festive scents - I love the smell of festive scents that you get at Christmas time, like gingerbread or mulled wine, cinnamon etc. I have so many festive scented candles and they're not just for Christmas either. I've had a gingerbread air freshener in my car for months!

3. Disney - rather than specific rides, food or areas, I love the Disney scents in general no matter where they are. They're so distinctive and memorable and going back after so many years, they don't change and there's something really comforting about that.

Petrichor.... that is the fancy word for the smell after fresh rain
Soil bacteria.. plant oil are part of the ingredients of the wonderful concoction we all inhale

This Tree is example of the oldest plant on earth..12,000 years old
Creoste tree... greasewood.... chaparral...or in Mexico hediondilla
When it rains the fragrance lasts for hours and folks will intentionally walk the desert for the fragrance

Most fragrance will disappear because of the brain and nose function... not this tree... you can stick your nose to a citrus bloom... better than lilac fragrance....and the smell disappear

Ok.. now for culture studies... guess what this is


This is not a dog park..
Not a soccer field... NOTHING FUN ABOUT THIS

It is a flashflood catch basin to collect water off the subdivision street..... and it is green... because full of stickers grass and stickers Vine that stick to shoes and probably ticks...so not a venue of any sort for pleasure
