The Smell of Flowers

I love this time of year, when it is not quite hot enough to make you stick to the car at 8 AM but by Noon you are prying yourself out of the seat. I especially love being outside in the early morning when the humidity is at 60% and the smell of flowers hangs heavy in the air. Even if it is for a moment, I stop and breathe in the scent and it transports me to a far away place that is calm, where I have no responsibilities, and no worries or fears. They say that scent is the mostly powerful memory response, it makes me wonder when I am very old what scents will bring back memories of my time right now? Will I think of the chaos, the craziness of the kids, or will I remember how amazingly busy we were and loving every minute. At any rate, thanks Lord for the boost!
