Gift # 12 The Smell of Fresh Cut Grass
I love the smell of a freshly mowed lawn when basking in the warmth of a nice day.
(A picture of the grass before Derrick's Cuba deployment. His waterers back at home-us-didn't do as well as he does.) :/

Gift #11 The Scent of a Child's Head After a Bath
Yes! Still plan on counting them! I have been terribly sick. I feel too nauseous and tired to crochet also. Alright...and to cook, clean, things like that. Which reminds me I should add another post as to why! ;) Hopefully I will feel better soon.
I love to smell the children's hair when they are sitting on my lap when they have bathed within the last day or so.
