Drop by drop the snow pack dies, watering the arid lands below. |
The April 12, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum" is Certain senses can often provoke a memory. A smell, a sound, an image, etc. Write about a favorite memory that is conjured up by a smell, a song, or any other sense. The breeze of memory wafts across my mind bringing back the aromas of my childhood. The smell of fresh brewed coffee or the scent of Prince Albert Smoking Tobacco... it is late Sunday afternoon Grandpa is sitting at the kitchen table sipping a cup of Folgers coffee and rolling his cigarettes for work the next day. The breeze of memory wafts across my mind bringing back the perfumes of my childhood. The aroma of rich dark chocolate or the bouquet of hot pumpkin and spices... it is a cold December afternoon Grandma is taking a pumpkin pie out of the oven and I am sitting at the kitchen table sipping a cup of hot coco. Thought of the Day: "Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains." - Diane Ackerman |
