One-Minute Writer - Smell

Today's One-Minute Writing Prompt: Smell

Write about a memory you have that centers around a particular smell.


Whenever I smell a freshly mowed lawn, especially after a gentle rain shower, I am reminded of my childhood. Every time I mow my one acre yard, it take me back to barefoot days in Riverview, a subdivision next to the Salt River.

Ah, such memories! Even when I'm riding in a car, if we pass a home where someone is mowing, the smell sends me right back to my childhood.
