And I'm totally impressed with some of the smells at the farmgirls homes! Fresh milk? Can't even imagine what fresh milk smells like..lucky must be the ones that do. Unfortunately today was cabbage....yuck.....yesterday fish......yuck. But all the windows are open and tomorrow hopefully will smell like..horses...LOL! So basically our house smells like...REAL...real to us anyway! I do pick Rosemary and hang it in the kitchen but it has to fight a big battle between the fish and cabbage! Good thing that we don't live next door to each other to find out how our homes really smell (to others)!! LOL

Carol- Fresh milk smells sweet and delicious. It's one of the most wonderful smells I can think of. I wish I could make soap and laundry powder that smell like fresh milk!
Right now I just make a batch of soap and so the house smells like a tropical themed drink or something- coconut and a something floral and citrus notes as well. I really like it!
WOW, Alee I'm totally envious!!!! Thanks for letting me know. Guess words just can't describe that smell..sweet and delicious to me is fresh cut hay! LOL Oh, are you the gal that has the farm with the milk cows? If so, you would know all about that. Unfortunately I have to buy my milk at the market and unless I glue my nose to the container it doesn't smell up my kitchen. You ARE a lucky girl!
Wow, this thread makes me want to go out and buy all types of fragrant things! My house smells like nothing right now. Which I guess is a good thing since my three year old has a stomach virus...at least it doesn't smell like that!
My house smells like coffee mixed with unwashed sheep wool sitting in boxes ready to wash, (my kids say only I can smell the wool - I beg to differ...) rose and rosewood incense with a little nag champa thrown in. It would be nicer if it did smell like herbs or lavender...you should smell it during the lavender harvest while I am weaving lavender wands.

Carol- No, I don't have milk cows. I am staying at a friend's ranch and they have milk goats. But I will be going home in a couple of days.
What does your house smell like?
