Smells of Spring

It’s been rainy here the past few days, but that’s just a sign that spring is here! It’s not April yet, but I’d like to think that late-March showers bring even earlier May flowers. About four years ago between graduating college and starting grad school I worked at a flower nursery. I had no clue that I would fall in love with flowers and anything garden related. Even though I worked there, I’d say my garden skills are very amiture. Spring has so much more than flowers though. Alec and I have come up with our top 5 smells of spring!

Hannah’s: 

1. Flowers! This one is a given. Walking into greenhouses is heaven. The fresh flower smell never gets old!

2. Lilac. A little different from flowers 🙂 I have a lilac bush that I’m waiting for it to bloom!

3. Rain. Weird? Probably! There’s something refreshing about the smell of a good rainfall.

4. Grilling out! After being inside all winter, I LOVE the smell of someone grilling out!

5. Lemon. It smells clean, but it’s also fruity and citrusy. Even better is my lemon-lavender candle! 

Alec’s:

1. Fresh cut grass. I think this is an adult thing! He takes so much pride in the yard, and apparently the smells that come with a fresh cut yard!

2. Grilling out. He’s pretty good at grilling out. I’d have to say his signature is his taco lime chicken! 

3. Lavender. This is probably because I always burn my lemon-lavender candle! 

4. Burgers on the grill. Different from grilling? I guess haha! 

5.  Flowers and herbs. I’ve started growing herbs so that makes sense! I love to grow and dry my own herbs such as basil and rosemary!
