Travel theme: Fragrant

This week’s travel theme is one dear to my heart: Fragrant.  The fragrance of the mountain air is one of my most precious fragrances, but here are some others that I cherish just as much.

The fragrance of tea.

The fragrance of bread and additionally, in this case, the fragrance of friendship that sent me a dozen bagels all the way from New York City.



There’s not much that is as fragrant as a bowl of fresh peaches, warm in the summer sun.

The fragrance of leather.

The fragrance of a horse.

Just peachy

Spoils of this week at the farmers market…

One day I would have all the books in the world, shelves and shelves of them. I would live my life in a tower of books. I would read all day long and eat peaches. And if any young knights in armor dared to come calling on their white chargers and plead with me to let down my hair, I would pelt them with peach pits until they went home.
–Jacqueline Kelly, The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
