Fall smells...

It’s finally getting colder here. I just stepped outside to take the dogs out and the crispness in the air was a nice feeling. The extra gift was the smell of wood burning fireplaces coming from down the street. It’s one of those smells that takes me back to childhood...a smell that evokes so many memories. Just thought I’d share.

You stepped out with the dogs. There's another smell that eventually permeated the air that you're omitting...

scented candles (usually Yankee) in all the fall scents like apple and sugared pumpkin, damp leaves after a rain, the crispness in the air, like you said, sugar cookies baking. Coffee brewing, but I love that smell anytime. Pine trees, especially if they're damp. This is weird, but warm, clean clothes out of the dryer on a cold day. Everything cooked & baked on Thanksgiving Day.

Even on the “warm clothes out of the dryer”! I love that smell year round!
