Summer Smells Like…
Rain and grass clippings
Old Spice and sweet tea
Lemon chess pie
Cotton candy and funnel cakes
from the county fair
Chlorine and fireworks
New crayons and rubber cement
Opportunity and adventure
Sweat and cocoa butter

For me, this evening’s rain and humidity feels like balmy summer campsites. I love how smell conjures a place and time.
As soon as I wrote cocoa butter, I thought of my sister laying out. As soon as I read campsite, I thought Off bug spray of Skin So Soft.
Evocative!
Thank you.
I love it! “Opportunity and adventure.” Awesome!
Thanks.
