The Nose Knows

     Happy Monday. Time make a list and link up with Stasha. Last week we got to read all about how accomplished everyone is, impressive and entertaining. This week 10 favourite smells. Easy, but only 10?

1 Cinnamon, reminds me of Christmas, baking, mulled wine
2 Daffodils, Canadian, first sign of spring, enough said.
3 Fresh cut hay, farm boy at heart.
4 Fresh turned earth., see above.
5 Horses, reminds me of home and being a kid.
6 Warm leather, as in riding tack. Get your minds out of the gutter.
7 Coffee, caffeine is my favourite vitamin
8 Chocolate, no explanation necessary.
9 Fresh sweat, okay let your imagination run wild.
10 Tomato plants, yes the plant not the fruit. I like the taste of the fruit but don't like the smell of cooking tomatoes, blech. I do love the smell of the plants, like geraniums and marigolds.
11 Because you knew I couldn't stick to only 10, gasoline. No, idea why just love the smell.

     I could have easily rhymed off a dozen more. Did you know a women's sense of smell is more acute than a man's? That's why we never shower unless we're looking for company LOL.

     Drop by Stasha's and see what makes our noses twitch.
