Summer odors

The thing about this time of year is our windows are open pretty much all of the time. I love it because the cool breezes come blowing through the house keeping it cool and comfortable even when the temperature climbs. With little humidity, June is a pleasant month and if we're lucky we never need to a/c overnight.

But that also means we hear and smell everything going on in the neighborhood. Just the other night we had the most delicious odors wafting through the living room as we were watching television. We couldn't quite tell whether it was a neighbor grilling a steak, or one of the restaurants in the neighborhood creating the smell, but it was wonderful and my mouth was watering. Our pizza just didn't measure up.

We have three restaurants within walking distance to our house. And the bagel store, which of course smells wonderful at 4am. It's one of the negatives about living in the village. One of the restaurants changed hands this past year and I'm thinking it will be the source of some of the scents coming our way because its a "grill". I can only imagine how good that steak tasted...
