Thursday Thirteen #12

Well it has been gorgeous out here in Orygon the last couple of days. WARM! In May! Stunning! I love summer. It is by far my most favorite season. Some of my favorite smells come are tied to summertime and that got me started on today's 13. Now these are in no particular order and this is by far not all of them, but here we have 13 of my favorite smells!

1. Cut Grass - It just smells so much better in the summer. Particularly sweetgrass or hay. Love it.

2. Rain on hot pavement - By far one of my all time favorite smells on the entire planet.

3. Sulfur from fireworks - I love the 4th of July. I was denied fireworks as a child by my Virgo Nurse mother. She stood by me and my sparklers with a hose. I kid you not. Now I am a pyro on the 4th. Bigger! Louder! Illegal! Wait...that sounds like my sex life with the Ex Boyfriend Variety. Georgia sex laws are so archaic...

4. Poison, Drakkar Noir, and sweat mixed - See #3

5. Fresh ground coffee beans - I love the smell of brewing coffee but standing over a grinder and smelling fresh ground coffee is Mana of the Gods.

6. Peonies - My favorite flower

7. Laundry hot from the dryer - Ahh Downy.

8. The Ocean - I love the ocean. I like the brisk smell of our oceans here in Oregon, but I admit I like the softer version you get in the summer or in tropical locations.

9. Books - New crisp books, old musty books...you name it I love the way they smell. Books are the bestest.

10. Hot Tar - Another of my favorite smells. It reminds me of childhood. For some reason there was always tarring going on of the roads by my grandparents house.

11. Pine - Especially at Christmas time.

12. The way it smells outside in the evening on a humid day when things cool off- Boy is that a hard one to describe! If you could smell it when I smelt it you would know what I mean.

13. Lavender - Another of my favorite smells. I would love to live in a french lavender field. Like this!
