There is nothing that says or smells rather like Spring to me than the smell of burning wood. I know you are asking yourself is she crazy? I am, but the smell of burning wood here means that Spring is coming. This is when the orchard farmers are pruning their trees and burning big piles of branches. I love that smell. As soon as Spring came here the last couple of weeks it is sadly gone again. As I am typing this post I look out the window and see SNOW! Lots of it too... Dang! Please bring back the smell of burning wood, the kids frolicking outside, bikes out, sidewalks filled with colorful creations, and Slurpee's. PLEASE!!!
