Favorite smells or sounds -- or not

Lady Lee

Here in the northern hemisphere we are experiencing spring.

There are some smells I just love especially in the spring. Fresh cut grass just makes me feel good. A fresh spring rain is very comforting. Also the smell of wet earth is marvelous.

The smell of a baby is delicious. (No he isn't here yet and we are all still waiting for him to decide to be born.)

Coconut is fabulous. When I was in college we had a candy factory across the street I love the days they were making coconut candies. You could smell it for miles.

I love the smell of roses in the spring time and lavender all year round. And popcorn which oddly reminds me of smelly socks which I hate (Go figure)

For some reason the smell of a can of apple juice that has just been opened so comforting although I don't know why. I do know it triggers a good feeling from my early school years though.

Clothes dried on the clothesline that have been windblown dry is wonderful. I can inhale that all day long. I also love to hear them flapping in the wind.

I love the sound of a lawnmower (probably connected to the smell of cut grass) and the sound of a prop plane.

Oh and I love the smell when you first light a match.

Old Spice aftershave and Player's cigarettes make me feel sick (both connected with my father). The smell of player's affects me so strongly I have what I think is an allergic reaction - wattery eyes, sneezing and I don't even have to see that it is Player's they are smoking. I am sooo glad they have a ban against smoking in public places now.

Stale beer and cigars - yuck

Codfish, also connected with my father. No other fish can turn my stomach as fast as cod.

I'm sure I will think of more later

What about you?

I love the smell of Baby Magic lotion, Chanel No. 5, honeysuckle, mexican food, Breck shampoo, sandlewood, Gain fabric softener, Sweet Olive tree, peaches, and barns....( yeah weird huh).

I think the sweetest sound is a baby laughing very hard, it always makes me laugh too. I love the sounds of frogs and crickets, the sound of rain in the early morning, birds singing, windchimes, and the sound a tap dancer makes on a hard wood floor.

Lady Lee

Oh oh you both have such great ones

I love the sound of water as long as it isn't a drip drip drip of the tiolet running

But natural water - waterfalls, softly lapping water, waves crashing on the beach or rocks wow I love them all.

Fresh baked bread of any kind, melted chocolate in a fondue, heck chocolate anytime, fresh coffee in the morning, roast chicken awww I could go on forever with food

Lilies of the valley and sweet hyacinth, almost any kind of forest

We have a bird outside my daughter's house that sings all day but I have never heard this before. I can imitate it pretty well and he will answer back.

I can't wait for baby laughter - that wonderful sounds when you paly with them and they just keep laughing at you over and over like they never saw that before - thanks for that one LE

Sounds

Rain on a tin roof

Car tires on wet streets after a rain

Newborn heads

The sound of the front door opening when your mate has been away for a few days and is due back any minute

Pine sap

Pancake and bacon breakfast

Outdoor barbecues

Freshly crushed basil

A Greek hillside near the sea covered in wild marjoram, thyme, rosemary, lavender, oregano

Kelp

Pine forest

Plus many of the ones already mentioned, especially babies giggling and natural water sounds.

Whoops, LOL, newborn heads should have come under smells, not sounds. The sound of a newborn head is not likely to bring joy to many.

I love all of these too, Lady Lee, and when the sprinklers come on during the heat of the day and wet the hot asphalt in a parking lot or street - that smells awesome.

I also love to hear night creature sounds - crickets, owls, etc. That's great.

And for some reason, tires on a pebble driveway is are appealing.

Lady Lee

Isn't it odd some of the things that appeal to us. Some I think are quite common but then there are those other things that we feel good about but can't quite put our finger on why.

A lot of the ones on my first list, like the apple juice just give me a sense of inner peace, calmness.

That's it! When I'm all stressed out all I should do is open a can of apple juice lol
