Happy Fall to all.......there is a smell in the air that is distinct this time of year. This got me thinking about memories and how powerful they can be. They say olfactory memory is the strongest, I'm not sure why but is there no one who can recall smells of their childhood with very little prompting? Whether its the smell of home cooking, Grandma's perfume or leaves burning these are scents that bring back a particular time in our lives.
Color can also produce the same effect. How about Avocado Green and Harvest Gold? Can anyone forget going to a friend or relative's house and having a snack in the kitchen proudly wearing these colors? Ever listen to 45's while lounging on a shag rug of Burnt Orange and Sienna Brown? Color and color combinations evoke feelings that are both profound and very personal.
What comes to mind when you drive down the road and catch the first turning of leaves? Does it bring back memories long stored away and forgotten? Open you eyes today...........
