Scent and Memory

Tweet

What smells trigger a memory for you? As autumn grows closer every day I look forward to the smell of wood smoke in the air. We don't have a wood burning fireplace in our home, but we had one growing up. The smell of wood smoke reminds me of childhood. I think of my dad, getting up early to build a fire because that was the only warmth we had. I remember laying close to the fire on a cold winter day, with a coloring book and crayons. Daddy laying on the sofa watching Star Trek or McGyver. I miss the cozyness of a fire, but I LOVE the smell of wood smoke in the air on a crisp cold day.
