thursday thirteen


Thirteen of my favorite smells.  Michelle had a post talking about the smell of dirt and so smells are what I'm posting for my thirteen.

1. Dirt.  I do indeed love the smell of dirt.
2. a horse's neck.  
3. a stable
4. Creosote, in a mild form, like railroad ties lying in the sun.
5. the Colorado brush warmed by the sun.
6. wet sand
7. shale heated by the sun
8. rotting apples - from a distance
9. wood smoke
10. Colorado rain, especially in the mountains
11. Snow
12. cinnamon
13. lilacs
