Three more sniffers, then I quit!

First of all a big welcome to my new followers, Allison, Betty, Road Dog Tales, Sugar in the Golden Retrievers, Jennifer and Katie. Thank you for stopping by and please leave a comment.

I'm still on my "sniff sentences" kick, especially since hubby trimmed the shrubs and cedar bushes. And a miniature rose bush I thought was dead at the end of summer, just blossomed again.

A dozen sweet smelling roses snuff out the bitter scent of betrayal, then wilt like a dead marriage. (I'm happily married.)

Broken evergreen boughs leach Christmas memories tangled in lights, wrapped in a red satin bow.

Apple cobbler cooling, chili simmering, fresh bread baking ~ warming the house and heart.

Please write a sensory sentence and share it. It might be the beginning of a great poem, or it might stand alone as a poem.

Have a blessed weekend. It's going to be nippy here, only in the 60s. Time for a hike.

  1. Minty green sage hug pollen heavy yellow wildflowers causing itchy eyes; the dry air of high desert autumn predicts winter's slow tread coming.

  2. Claudia,
    Oooh, I love that phrase, "winter's slow tread". This captures the moment and makes me want to rub my eyes. Thanks for participating.

  3. I smell the beginning of fall and the end of summer. A relief is in the air.

  4. Sandie,
    YES! and it is bittersweet for me. I just took down my summer wreath and hung the fall wreath on the front door. I like summer, love fall, hate winter, and spring is a breath of hope and fresh air. I do like having the windows open in fall. The crispness makes me sleepy. Thanks for partcipating.

  5. Autumn sighs, and crisp sunset leaves whisper and whirl upon the ground; the final kiss of summer.
