Favorite smells

There I was cooking Sunday night dinner and as I bent down to get a whif of the onions and garlic I was sauteing in oil olive, my favorite smell by the way,  it got me to thinking of the other wonder smells there are. So here is my list: 
sheet that have been hung out on the clothes line
a new born baby
grass that has just been mowed
chocolate chip coookies baking
those pine cones with cinnamon
lemons
coffee
toast
popcorn
a rose
sweet peas
just to name of few

654 days of pure joy

I have sanded, painted, grouted, scraped, hammered, planted, harvested, dug, sprayed, feed and weeded.  All while listening to the birds.

I have cleaned closets, drawers, windows and screens.  Create a sewing room and extra bedroom.

I have taught and mentor. Counseled and listened. Taken classes, gave classes.

I have sewn, clip, stitch and quilted.

I have camped, hiked, climbed, walked, talked, seen the sunset and  sunrise.  Felt the rejuvenating waters of an oasis, had my head in the clouds, hands in the sands and soaked in the sun. Seen nature at its bests.

Spend hours visiting my friends and family, especially my mother. Became a stay at home mom . Gone back to sleep in the mornings, read magazines, played words with friends, watched the Price is Right and Fashion Police. Read books, started a Blog.

Cooked, baked, pickled and canned. Cooked dinner every night and packed lunches.

Became my husband's best friend and lover.

I have become strong.

I have had heaven on Earth.
