Today I am grateful for smells

1. Fresh cut grass...need I say more? I was thinking today as I was mowing how many hours of my life I might have spent mowing grass. There is such a peaceful feeling making the lines in the grass, looking at it with pride afterwards, enjoying how nice it looks. I remember mowing lawns with Dad in Texas and eating those nasty sugar-free hard candies as we'd go to the different homes not realizing we were actually working...we just loved being able to hang out with Dad.

2. Soup...Mark and Andy made Roasted Red Pepper Soup last night and I can still smell it up in my closet. It has such a homey smell, almost encouraging Fall to come.

3. Shampoo...I love giving my girls a bath in the evening and we also smell their watermelon shampoo before we wash their hair.

4. Lotion...and after baths the ritual of lotion all over their bodies, checking for any new bruises or scratches, making sure there are no rashes or problems. They are finally clean...for a few hours.

5. Body soap...I love getting in my shower and smelling Mark's body wash. I love the musky scent and knowing that he is mine, we are in this for the long haul, he loves me and I love him.
