Wednesday scent of the day 3/10
It’s Hump Day, National Mario Day, Harriet Tubman Day and International Bagpipe Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
We do not really grow roses, but my husband bought a rather sickly looking unmarked bush at an end-of-season sale last year, and so who knows, perhaps we’ll have roses this year? Or, perhaps not. Either way, I’m in Ormonde Jayne Ta’if.
Reminder: on 3/12, for plant a flower day…
Transported by a whiff of an odor
This has been an enduring mystery of human experience. Nearly everyone has been transported by a whiff of an odor to another time and place, an experience that sights or sounds rarely evoke.

This is a major piece of the puzzle, a striking finding in humans. We believe our results will help future research solve this mystery.
