When the scent of lemon blossoms bloom
"Smell is a potent wizard that transports us across thousands of miles and all the years we have lived. The odors of fruits waft me to my southern home, to my childhood frolics in the peach orchard.

Even as I think of smells, my nose is full of scents that start and awake sweet memories of summers gone and ripening fields far away." Helen Keller
