It is starting to smell a little like summer is on its way in my city. If you've ever lived somewhere with long, snowy winters you know what I mean. Every season has a scent of its own and people from cold places tend to have a finely honed ability to detect summer in the air. I don't live in a place that gets snow now but I did from ages 8 to 20. Despite the fact that summer brings some pretty intense heat to my neck of the woods, I still get a little giddy when I can wear short sleeves and flip flops.
