Spring for me always brings alergies and sneezing and horrible itchy eyes, no fun.<br /><br />But fall...I remember fall in Washington State as a little girl. The smell of pine mixed with damp air and falling leaves. That earthy, almost metallic damp smell that hangs heavy as the days get shorter. Things feel quieter. The birds fly south, the leaves are on the ground so even the wind feels quieter. I love fall.Mary Malcolm Duncansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830246712003481093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-28969118672960052902010-03-31T12:24:15.100-05:002010-03-31T12:24:15.100-05:00Hey there Christie!

Can't wait for the crop to arrive.<br /><br />As for scents of spring, I can't put my finger on just one, but there is a feeling when I walk out on my deck each year and the scent, the amount of greening, the feel of the air makes me smile and I say, "Hello, Spring."Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992776098849029414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-89120608761575601042010-03-31T10:08:18.546-05:002010-03-31T10:08:18.546-05:00Hi Katherine!

They were the only flowers that grew in the sandy soil of the home where I grew up. On the north side of the house, right beneath the rain spout. Too bad they only last for about a week and then you have to wait an entire year!<br /><br />40 books! Wow.
