Island Scents

There are some scents that evoke particular moments from one's past, and memories of these moments flood in pretty strongly when you haven't smelled those scents for a long time. In the past three weeks, during my stay in the "country of my origin", these are the scents that have been triggers for me. (In no particular order...)

• Tim Horton's kiosks
• Salt air
• Creosote on the wharf pilings at Fulford Harbour
• Wet cedar chip trails being warmed by the sun
• Dry oak leaves and pine needles
• Mom and Dad's coffee brewing in the morning
• Walking past Roger's Chocolates on Government Street
• Turkey baking in the late morning
• Pebble beaches
