    I love so many of the smells of spring time and summertime as well.. from fresh cut grass and new flowers to the coconutty smells of suntan lotion. Nothing beats the flash back to childhood from the smell of Coppertone. Bonfires are the beach and bbq's. Whats your favorite smells of spring and summer?

    The smell of daffodils makes me think of my childhood.

    But, the smell after a summer rain is always great. Or the smell of BBQ chicken or burger...
