I feel like I am one of those people who never has a good answer for any question about my all-time favorite anything (e.g. all time favorite food, all time favorite other thing). Okay, so trying to give examples, makes me think that maybe I am good at having all time favorite things. Like tuesday, for example.
Anyhow.
Today I realized my all-time favorite smell! It is the smell of what I think is a Katsura tree, in the fall when it starts to lose its leaves. It is a Most amazing smell, reminiscent of cotton candy. We are very fortunate to have two directly in front of the physics building. Perhaps I will update this post with a photo soon.
I thought your favorite smell was bacon!!
ReplyDeleteNo sorry.
ReplyDeleteAlso, why is bacon so fashionable these days?
I don't know but it's even on wrapping paper... I think that's going a little too far.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what a Katsura tree is and you even stumped Joel. I like the smell of Fall in general with all those rotting leaves!
ReplyDeleteI loved those good smelling trees, too. UNH by contrast has trees that actually stink in the spring. They're near the sidewalk between Morse Hall and the Physics building. I think they smell like rotting fish.
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting tree here though is a Gingko. It drops all its leaves in just a few hours. People gamble on when it will happen.
