Do You SMELL That???

MMmmmmm.... You know what that smell is, don't you?

It's WINTER.
There is a fresh, crisp feel in the air tonight.
I think it's going to be a cold year for us in Looozeeana.

I love when the weather starts turning cooler.
When I was younger, I only liked summertime, but the older I get, the more I like Autumn.
Really, (besides friends & family) it's the only thing I REALLY miss about living in Arkansas.
Arkansas has GORGEOUS Autumns!
And EVERY winter holds at least the promise of snow!

So when the air starts smelling like this... I start to think of all the other fine scents we will be smelling soon:

• *Steaming hot turkey & dressing
• *Sweet pecan pie (YUM!)
• *Popcorn & hot cocoa on chilly winter nights
• *Smoky scents of fireplaces crackling
  
• *Pine sap
• *Holly & Mistletoe
• *Christmas trees!
• *CHRISTMAS COOKIES!
• *Egg Nog (HUSH; I happen to like egg nog)

And the scent of PROMISE that is found in the approaching new year...

For now, I'm just content with the smell of it all.
