smells

The smell of clean line-dried washing.

The smell of fresh sunny Spring air.

The smell of a fired, cooling bisque kiln.

farmlady said...: The smell of wood fires in the valley.
The smell of bread baking in the oven.
The smell of a hillside of narcissus in the spring.
I could get use to this...
That's what comes of living in the moment. It's a good place to be.; 10 March 2012 at 18:36
Jacqui said...: Laundry dried on a line has an indescribable fragrance - spring too - I can imagine the likn, but would add the smell of peat smoke.
Who needs a camera?

I think what we are all feeling is comfort, familiarity, the things that make us personally feel secure.; 10 March 2012 at 20:55
