Blast In The Face

Took out the garbage, hopped on the bike, and rode to work in the dark.

Going past Costco I was HIT IN THE FACE by a blast of fruity sugary smell! They're baking again! What a wonderful thing, the smell of baking. There used to be a bakery on University twenty years ago when I first started riding and it was such a treat to inhale the aroma of baking bread in the cool morning.

Pine trees, too! I love the smell of pine trees. I smelled a pine on the ride Sunday. There are way too many oaks in this area, I don't care for them much, although the acorns are fun to play with. Pines tree. Ummmm! My grandpa had pines in his yard. He had a goldfish pond, too. And plaster ducks on the lawn. And a speckled hunting dog. And bees!
