I love laundry on the line - especially if we've got corn in rotation at the house. It's extra sweet then!

my favorite smell is fire burning in the fireplace. Mmmmmmmm.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to blossom |

Alfalfa, horse manure, lily of the valley, gasoline and skunk.
(in regard to the latter two "odors" my dh always asked why I didn't turn out to be a stoner!)

I love the smell of rain, fresh line dried laundry and cinnamon.

I like the fresh smell after a good rain, wood burning in a fireplace, cinnamon, bread baking, stew simmering all day, and yes...gasoline...the smells of spring (newness) and fall (decayed leaves and the richness of the season).

I have a few - ROSES I just LOVE LVOE ROSES
Baby goats after they are all cleaned and dry - I know that sounds weird
The smell of my Great Pyr's - they almost smell like corn chips.
Last when I take a loaf of fresh baked bread out of the oven. Made one last night and had a very hard time not sitting and eating half the loaf with fresh butter and honey from my friend.

Sage, cedar, sweetgrass, vanilla, Crayola crayons and PlayDoh!
I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by. ~anon |

Fresh cut grass, McIntosh apples, desserts baking, citrus, peppermint, or any clean smell
