It Smells Like Home To Me

What reminds you of home the most? Of the five senses, the sense of smell evokes memories for me - more so than any of the others.

For instance, the smell of fresh linens left hanging on a clothes line to dry reminds me of my childhood home.  My mother would pin sheets, towels, blankets and everything she washed on her ringer type washer to the wire line that dad stretched and attached to posts. With a husband and four children, my mother had to do laundry almost daily.  The wringer washer she used had a deep round tub that sat on attached legs.  The wringer was situation atop the tub and had a handle to turn as the clothes were fed through the wringer. She filled the washer with water by the buckets.  If she wanted to use hot water, the water had to be heated on top the cooking stove. After the clothes were washed they had to be put through the wringer.

Put through the wringer is a saying I heard my mother and grandmother say on many occasions when referring to someone looking bad.  They would say things like, she looks like she’s been put through the wringer. I always knew what they meant because of the washer mom used.

When the clothes came out of the wringer, they came out flat and wrinkled.  Mom would hang each piece onto the line and attached them with clothes pins.  Many times, when the clothes were dry, but had not yet been taken  inside, I ran through the sheets and blankets and loved the smell that the fresh sunshine and summer breeze fused into the threads and material. Nightfall came and it was time to jump into bed.  The smell of home wrapped itself around me as I nestled into my spot and just before falling asleep I’d bury my face into my pillow and breath in the outdoors.

Other smells that remind me of home are:

Food cooking on the stove and the many delicious odors that drifted from the open windows.    The odor of sweaty horses and other farm animals, though not pleasant. reminds me...
