That is nice. So sweet.
Yesterday, my fifth grader, Zach, on the way out to the car to drive to school, said:
“Jesus, it reeks like horseshit out here!!”
They grow up so fast . . .

Hello from Canada, where today’s weather forecast for North Bay, Ontario included SNOW!! Yes, you heard me correctly – I said SNOW!! Mercifully, North Bay is some hours [surprise!] north of Toronto, but GEEZ LOUISE it isn’t even OCTOBER yet!!!!
P.S. It seems Scout would be an excellent meteorologist, as she appears more accurate than most of the people on the news at present. Maybe she should look into that as a future career
I think we humans are born with much better noses than we know, and we learn to ignore our sense of smell. I remember one time we had lost our car in a parking lot and my son Jake ended up locating it by scent. He could also smell the toy department in a Wal-Mart.
Ron, that’s weird.
I would get him checked out. He might be a superhero of some sort. Nasalman, or something like that.
And I pity the child who has an overdeveloped sense of smell in YOUR house, my friend.

Indeed. Poor Jake’s nostrils are challenged at every turn.
I also know a guy — a well-known sommelier — who had such a keen sense of smell that when he was young he couldn’t stand the smell of redheads. Go figure!
Ok – Ron, you had to know SOMEONE was going to ask, and what the hell, it may as well be the token redhead . . . So, what, exactly DO redheads smell like??? According to you friend, that is.
I know exactly what young Scout means. Somewhere toward the end of July/first of August, you can begin to smell autumn here in the far north, long before the first leaf changes color. And snow air DOES have its own scent. So does spring.
On the other hand, my own family thinks I’m odd because I invariably smell my food before I eat it, as does my daughter. For me it enhances the eating of said food.
On the OTHER other hand, many of my friends describe me as a dork. Sigh.

One fall morning, my son’s friend put it this way years ago: “The air feels sharp out here.”

Next time I see him I will ask him. “Piquant, with an oppressively overbearing hint of elderberries” or something like that, I expect.
