Wow...taking me away. Better than Calgon!
Definitely the above ground pool. Nana's would get new vinyl before every Memorial Day. Love that smell. And the new rafts!
The smell of 2 stroke when my dad would pull out my little ATC for Spring.
The sweet broom that bloomed under my bedroom window.
The deep gurgle of the creek, also outside my window, after we'd build the "Damn Dam" for our summer swim hole. We could only block it up after Spring rain was over.
My horses quietly munching, again, outside my window, on warm evenings. They were let into the creek pasture at the start of fire season to eat the weeds. They'd spend the night right under my window.
Hiking to "The Platform" half way up the mountain in back of our house. Wait 'til 9PM for Disneyland's fireworks. We could actually see them, although we were about 50 miles away! (Grew up in a canyon of the Saddleback Mountains in OC, CA.)
Not a fond memory, but summer break always brings this to mind...Being scared as hell when in '84-'85 all I heard on the radio/TV was about the Nigh Stalker. I didn't want to leave my window open, like his victims had Maybe he'd come all the way out to BFE here and kill us all and hole up!! So we drove around in my boyfriend's convertabile all night almost every night. I remember the scent of orange blossoms and sea salt when we'd drive by the ocean. And I remember being mad that I couldn't just relax and enjoy the warm night air outside that awesome bedroom window!
