| A newborn baby. I've had three and I wish there was a way to capture that scent in a bottle. Guess I'll just keep havin' babies :-) |

I love the smell of honeysuckle and lilacs too! Fresh mown hay or grass ranks up there too. Also I love the way our Tractor Supply smells, a mixture of leather, feed, and I don't know what all. I just love the scent when I first walk through the door.

I just finished eating my homemade pumpkin pie. I forgot how good that smells cooking in the oven. It really beats buying a store bought pie. I think the smells of each season make my list....from the fresh smells in the spring, smell of summer rains to the fall spices.

My youngest son loves the smell of dill pickles! As for me I love the smell of sage and cinnamon. Reminds me of home when I was little.

To be working outside and get that faint smell of honeysuckle. I feel closer to the earth then more than any other time.

I love anything that smells like Grandma's been in the kitchen baking . . . cinnamon, ginger, apples, etc. I also love the smell of coffee, I love the smell of laundry fresh off the clothesline, the smell of a crackling fire, and most any smell that speaks of home and the peacefulness of home!
Hugs & blessings,
Brenda

| Has anyone mentioned the feed store? I went today to get grain and forgot how good it smells in there. And then when there's several bags of sweet feed in the back and it's been in there all day, the car smells so good,too.MMMMM!! |

Fresh coffee brewing, baby powder, rain and sweets baking. Oh yea, I love the smell of the burning of leaves etc when people are cleaning in their yard (hubby thinks I am wierd on that one).

What a great topic - I loved reading thru everyone's answers.
I love when you walk thru drifts of fallen leaves and their smell announces that autumn has arrived - yay! I know it's just rotting leaves (how unromantic), but it just smells so fresh and "outsidey". I also love the smell of line-dried laundry, cinnamon, and lilacs. Also, it drives my kids nuts, but I love the smell of books - old and new. Whenever we get a new schoolbook (we're homeschoolers) and we sit down with it, I open it up and bury my nose in it. They always tell me, "Stop smelling books!" I also like the smell of burning leaf piles, and the last smell I like, which is really weird, is the smell of tires. I love to walk thru the bicycle aisle at Walmart - hee hee!

Coffee...horses...peppermint...sweet feed!...baking bread...marigolds--I know, they aren't supposed to smell, but they smell like fall to me...

My favorite smell is a fire burning on a crisp autumn or winter day. It is nothing short of divine!
And I have to chime in with the horse poop too. It's right up there!
