Just sitting here smelling meat and garlic sizzling and listening to Ellie and Dave chatting in the kitchen as Dave starts a beef stew.

"Isn't it neat that we saw mommy's favorite color in the sky? Her favorite color is dark blue."

"I can smell the pepper! I can smell just like a dog! I can smell things that are miles away from me, I can. When Daniel was far away from me, like down the hallway, I could smell the smell of Daniel."

Dave's contributions are mostly murmurs of assent and "yeah, that's cool,"s as he works. He did ask if the smell of Daniel was a good smell, and Ellie remarkably said that it was. :-)

I'm so glad Dave's back home. I feel like I can relax a bit again. Daniel's playing at the neighbor's house, which makes me a little nervous, but right now on the whole everything is peaceful.

New Friend!

Thank you for adding me to your Friends list. I've added you to mine and dropped by here to browse.

A good sense of smell makes for a good cook, sometimes -- or a perfumer. That's worth remembering and exploring further.

I'm glad to hear it.

Drop by and give me a prompt for the poetry fishbowl today?

I wanted to! We were out most of the afternoon yesterday, so I missed the posting. I'll definitely try for September, though.

Cool. The fishbowl is usually early in the month, and I announce it a week in advance.
