Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well in your little part of the world. 
Welcome to Week 3 of the October Muse Challenge where we are exploring the wonderful world of our Senses. So far we have focused on Hearing with Angela in Week 1, Seeing with Kimberly in Week 2 and for Week 3, we are going to look at our sense of Smell.
Various smells can take us back to various times in our lives, for me the smell of spring blossoms always fills me with nostalgia as my parents used to have a LOT of fruit trees in our suburban backyard. As I grew older and became interested in creating my own gardens, my sense of smell still finds Spring to be a wonderful time to be in the garden. Currently I am enjoying growing a lot of herbs like rosemary, thyme, chamomile, mint to name a few, but my favorite is lavender and I have a few varieties growing. I love the smell of it too and for me it always signals that Spring has finally arrived!
So this week, scrap a page about a favorite smell of yours. Is it also a plant outside in the garden? Or perhaps you certain kitchen smells evoke some childhood memories of your mother or grandmother baking something yummy? Maybe it's the scent of the forest and the menthol aroma the pine cones scattered across the ground. Whatever it is, create a page to share what your favorite smell is.
