Smelling

Oh for smelling when lavender’s in bloom or sweet roses and their pretty perfume. Chantilly I love to have a whiff of. Tabu is so sexy – a fragrance I love. Bread in the oven is so nice to smell And buttery popcorn at movies as well. Smelling lasagna and pizza – the zest! but smelling meat grilling has to be best! Scents of nostalgia are Halloween treats and Mom’s Christmas baking of many sweets. Oh, that fresh smell of pine and evergreen! But the strangest smell I like is gasoline!

Good Morning Andrea. Hi. Yes, you grace us with beauty of all the wondrous fragrances such as lavender etc and then the twist of gasoline. Nice rhyming. I have a sister who lives in the country with all the beauty of nature and evergreens. Thank you for sharing imagery with us. Have a wonderful morning and weekend and may the fragrances show up for you. Blessings always. (smile)
