I grew up in a home where my yard had 14 orange trees, and so I know well the fragrance you speak of. I also love baby lotion and use it myself at times, along with baby powder. My front walkway has jasmine that wafts in my door every day of the spring and summer.<br /><br />You painted some wonderful olfactory pictures here!<br /><br />Just lovely. (And I wish I could have seen the painting!)<br /><br />=)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464278377527384610.post-61603250463468950352012-03-28T21:00:34.818-07:002012-03-28T21:00:34.818-07:00aawww....

I really love remembering smells. Like the roses that grew in my favorite aunt and uncles rose garden. The smell of my mothers roast beef or fried chicken on a Sunday after church! Sweet smelling babies. Lilacs outside my bedroom window when Spring really comes to Colorado! <br />Clorox is not a favorite smell but it sure kicks pees but! We use Fabulouso too! Ha Ha!<br />Love visiting you always.

It was almost enough to convince me to go vegetarian. I also remember the smell of my Grandma's house. It was a combination of dusting powder and strawberries I think.

I too can summon up memories through certain smells.<br /><br />You know I have noticed more and more that the products available in our stores are now bilingual and sometimes completely in spanish. I have mixed feelings about this. I really believe that anyone coming to our country should learn the language...American English, especially if they want to reside here permanently. However I wouldn't want to visit a foreign country and oh lets say buy a spray can of deodorant to only find out I sprayed bug spray in my pits!<br />Lovely story my friend.

I ...Judie Judie Judie...that was purely delightful! I don't know what grade Mrs. Jenny's gonna give you, but if I were the teacher, you'd get an A++.<br /><br />I am super-sensitive to smells. Good ones can send me soaring into giddiness and not so good ones plummeting into the depths of crankiness. Clorox...yes, it's gross and powerful, but it represents something being clean to me, so I can tolerate it. Pinesol and Lysol, on the other hand...make me want to retch and remind me of bad smells covered up with even worse smells. Certain perfumes can send me hunting for fresh air and excedrin.<br /><br />The smell of bread baking, jasmine, roses, the ocean breeze, freshly cut grass and most things in nature are divine. <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderfully odiferous day!!anitamombanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705021153044549156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464278377527384610.post-55122302320643686152012-03-23T06:43:31.781-07:002012-03-23T06:43:31.781-07:00Great post, smell is one of the greatest senses an...Great post, smell is one of the greatest senses and I do love the smell of citrus!
