It's really lovely there. That whole park is great actually. There's a japanese garden, and a really nice zoo with a new addition that opened up. I think there's a sloth there now? Well worth the airfare for both of you, and anyone else who wants to come.

A freshly cut Christmas tree

Peach-colored roses

Lilacs- and it is lilac time here in NY, and at my mothers house today I found her lilac tree and went over to it and inhaled.....such a wonderful spring smell

The smell of an oil burner- my dad was an oil burner mechanic. Brings me back...

The smell of a piping hot freshly made NY pizza when you open the box- don't try this with Dominos or Little Caesar, it's not the same thing.

The smell of the walkway leading to the lighthouse at Robert Moses State Park here in NY. On one side is the ocean and it's beautiful fresh, salty, windy smell- on the other side are rambling, thorny seaside roses.

I don't smoke, but I do like the way the inside of a pack of unfiltered cigaretts smells.

smells most people like that i loathe: baking bread, freshly cut grass

"LOATHE?????" Wow that's pretty harsh. I mean, I get it w/ the baking bread smell. Sure it's ok, but when I think of bread baking I think of the word "yeast" and giggle like a 8 yr old, so maybe I can understand the eh factor of not liking bread smells. But freshly cut grass? It's just such a happy smell. Have a traumatic experience w/ freshly mown lawns???

LOL actually "yeast" does play into it because i'm an 8 year old at heart but i loathe the grass smell because i have terrible allergies, so i don't have happy associations with it, just stuffed up ones.

And oddly enough, the smell of skunk will forever remind me of my very first semester of college. I would smell one walking back to my room late at night, or to a friend's room, and every time I smell one at night, it takes me back four years. Weird, yes.
