The Scents of Summer

 

                                                             Frind me among our authors


Summer has finally arrived here in beautiful Vermont! 

My garden is producing snow peas, tomatoes, raspberries, corn, beans, squash, herbs, peaches and flowers I can trim and set in a vase on my dining room table. Oh, the joy!

I recently joined our daughter Abby on the coast of central California where I assisted her classes at an acoustic music camp. It was right on the Pacific Ocean. Sage and wildflowers were growing among the sand dunes. Each morning we awoke to the smell of fresh-brewed coffee and sage! Those scents will forever remind me of our mother/daughter time together.





What are the scents of summer like where you live? Is it the smell of vinegary barbeque sauce? The pine of a cabin's surrounding trees? The fresh and briny scent of the ocean?


Hope you and yours are enjoying our precious summer season, dear readers, and that it includes a hammock and the scent of a fresh cracked open book!

  1. Eileen, The scents of summer here are the roses I have surrounding my porch. There are sounds of birds and motorcycles and cars.

  2. In Arizona, the scents of summer are the smoke of wildfires, the melting tar of the roads, and the dust storms. We hope this summer will also bring a monsoon... Thanks for sharing.
