Through my day I encounter smells, some small some blatant. Not all smells are pleasant. Yesterday was “cook things in the microwave” day at work, through the day the smell of pasta accosted me, followed by an inedible hot pocket aroma,the buttery smell of popcorn won the event saturating the office for the rest of the day despite the continual growing ozone smell from radiated air combining with the rest.
It was under this bombardment of smells that I spent my day, and then stepping from the building at the end of the day the fresh smell of leaves, grass, a lit fireplace in the distance, and clean air.
In an instant I was free from work, it is amusing to consider how a smell effects your day and where smells can send you to.

I Love the smell of fall. the sound of rustling leaves. What sweet relief at the end of the day — -the end of a stinky day.

Oh, I guess you were never treated to fish that was heated, forgotten, and LEFT in the microwave over the weekend then. Not one of my favorites. Ack!
I love the smell of wood burning in the fireplace. I go to Hunt Valley a lot because they bake their breads and rolls in a real wood burning stove. Heavenly. xxoo

Earlier today when I got home from work, I walked into the kitchen and was immediately reminded of my Grandmother. The scent that did it was the new dish soap I bought. That is how her kitchen always smelled. It made me smile.
