week #7- smells and whatnot.

My favorite smell in the entire world only comes around once a year. Right outside my bedroom window there is a huge lilac bush and once a year, right around May and June, at the first signs of spring, it blooms. When the flowers are completely blossomed you can smell the flowers from a block away. Although they are tiny and not exactly the most beautiful in the world, they are still my favorite flower as well as my favorite scent. Every year, as soon as i catch the faint scent of lilacs, i pick as many as i can and fill a vase full of them for every room in my house so my entire house has the amazing scent lingering around it. Perfumes, candles, and air fresheners try to imitate the smell, but none seem to capture it perfectly. So now, every time i smell the "real" smell of lilacs, it reminds me of springtime. :)
