I was thinking today how every season has its own scent. Its usually the same scents every year too. Im sure not everyones are the same, but they all remind us of the seasons!
Fall is always pumpkin spice, apple cider, even the crisp air has its own scent. The first time you turn on the heater in your house. The fall reminds me of Kenny Rogers and Neil Diamond. My mom played it a few years in a row while we got ready for Thanksgiving. I used to love fall and all its scents. Then I got pregnant and was so so so sick that now the fall makes me want to puke!
Winter has always been cinnamon and pine. Sugar Cookies in the oven, the smell of cold faces and hands. Anne Murrays Christamas. The first month of winter leading up to Christmas there is a feel of excitement everywhere.
Spring everything smells new. The smell of fresh air coming through the windows is the best feeling after a cold winter.
Then there is summer. Summer to me has the most scents. Not always the best scents, bit most definaltey the most. I could go on and on with summer...
Banana Boat after sun lotion
Tigers Blood snowcones
Hawaiian Tropic tanning lotion
Fresh cut grass
This one I dont love, but it reminds of summer... when kids come in from playing outside all day and smell sweaty. There little bangs stuck to their foreheads. Then getting them in the bath and they smell all clean again!
Fruit
BBQ's
Campfires
Bug spray
Aloe
Chlorine from the swimming pools
The AC in the car when you first start it
Salt water in your hair
The hay fields and cow pastures... kind of a gross smell!
Summer thunder storms. You can smell it before it even starts to rain
Clothes hung outside to dry
In Ny the city smelt STICKY!!
Cotton Candy at the carnival
It might sound weird but even the water out of the hose has its own scent!
I love and miss the smell of the beach
Those are just some of my favorites!!!
