1) It happened to me today!! My secretary made a homemade chocolate cake. It was yummy but different from any cake I‘ve eaten in years. When I went into our break room later the smell hit me! It was my grandmother‘s chocolate cake! The memories just flooded in!
2) One summer carrying my rag doll cat, Mama Yeller, over my shoulder while pulling my little red wagon with milk jugs of water to water my tomato plants, which thrived!

1. Definitely, iron-y water takes me to grandma‘s. I‘d love another hug from gram.

2. Often music jogs my memory. I recall hearing Jackie Blue in the gold Pontiac GTO on the way to the beach with my mom. I might have been 3 or 4. I have so many music memories with my mom. I‘m grateful for those songs and the memories wrapped in them. ❤️

1. Favorite smell = a desert rain. I have wonderful memories of big rains (which were a huge deal in Phoenix) where my mom, grandma, sisters, and I would all sit on our back porch together: watching, listening, smelling, talking, laughing. 💙
2. A vivid memory of being in the back seat of our sedan after my dad's baseball game (he was a coach), with my mom and dad in the front seats. I have never felt as secure since. 💙

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs 1) While I was reading this most excellent tagged book which I highly recommend, there was much smelling and drinking of coffee. I love coffee but coffee doesn‘t love me anymore. But I swear I could smell and taste the coffee while I was reading. And I started craving it. 2) One of my fondest childhood memories is of my paternal grandmother pouring some of her cream and sugar coffee into a saucer and feeding it (cont)⬇️

1. There‘s something about the smell of bacon and eggs that takes me back to lazy Saturday morning breakfasts when I was a kid.
2. I remember playing on the deck my grandfather built at their house, as well as “helping” them pick strawberries.
Thanks for the tags.

I love these questions!
💙My favorite is the smell in the air in the summer before a thunderstorm - it always reminds me of a perfect afternoon of swimming and camaraderie with friends at summer camp before a big storm ended up rolling in.
💙Hunting for faeries in the neighborhood with my BFF (who is still my BFF 30+ years later). We also performed spells in my backyard in a little fort we made under a pine tree.

1) Roses because my grandma wore Tea Rose perfume daily and lilacs because of the large lilac bush by the front door of her house.
2) I was just talking to my dad about this. Rather than a specific memory it was our years in Ephrata. Sledding down suicide hill, riding our bikes all over town, playing out in the dry fields, spending our afternoons at the pool. It was definitely a different time in terms of safety and freedom.

1. The smell of beeswax always makes me think of the Wren Building in Williamsburg, Virginia. I had a lot of classes there in college, and the stairway railings were polished with beeswax. They always smelled so good!

2. One Christmas, when I was 8 or 9, my grandmother gave me a huge Barbie doll wardrobe that she had sewn herself. She was an excellent seamstress, and the clothes were beautiful.

Want to play?

1. For me it‘s the smells of nature…freshly mown grass, crisp air in fall, the smell after it rains….that remind me of certain times in my life.
2. Halloween as a kid. We would trick-or-treat for hours! And get big candy bars. And dump our candy on the floor to separate. So much fun.

Happy Wednesday!

I. The scent of lilacs echoes spring in Minnesota as a child. The scent of peonies is connected to Mom💗

II. Our neighbor Emma had a gorgeous flower garden surrounded by a white fence and beautiful gate-slice of heaven.
