2/31 Smoke Scents

Daughters discovered incense awhile ago.

Many scents including cannabis. Don't worry, we aren't getting high from it. But it smokes like the dickens so we put it into our little log cabin incense burner. Smells nice, not at all like pot. Mesmerizing to watch the smoke exit the chimney and windows in beautiful swirls and streams.

Scents stimulate the appetites or repel them. Such is their purpose. Perfume - oh, so delightful. The trash can, not so much.

Thanking God today for eyesight and nosesmell.

And my little log cabin gaily smoking.
