Memories of Childhood
The scent of fresh cut grass is something that triggers positive memories in me.
- What particular sensation, scent or taste reminds you of some time from your childhood ?
- Does it immediately make you feel safe and comfortable?

For me it's the scent of cut grass too because it was a sign summer is on it's way. I never liked the cold.
@amiablePeace77 I endured winters.
@soulsings
For me a childhood memory is freshly cuts grass. My Dad was a landscaper and I always enjoyed mowing the lawn when I got old enough to push a lawn mower around with my Dad. I also love ocean breeze we use to spend our summers on an island called fire island on long island n.y. I use to always was at the beach enjoying the sun.
When I go to the beach now, I memorize things that I use to do in my chldhood and laugh silently at things that I enjoyed the most.
@pamharley003 what pleasant memories.
@soulsings
The smell of grass.
The smell of lambs.
Farm smell.
This brings me back to my childhood and a feeling of safety 🥰
@Amanda84 so far everyone likes grass.
@soulsings
Absolutely 🤗 💚
Summer rain, that earthy smell, it makes think of my childhood where my siblings were close and before my parents pretty terrible divorce that divided us. That summer rain reminds me of being together with siblings and parents were under the same roof. Sometimes I really despise feels. They just make a person hurt too much.
@exuberantMoon4988 memories nag at me till I finally see them as just a story I told myself.
I understand that. It is sad but truthful. Sending you big intrawebs hug
Orange or root beer popsicles always take me back to when I was very young, standing on our deck eating them and admiring the mountains. It makes me calm and mostly happy, but so.etimes sad. I miss the mountains!
@TovaCares76 the mountains live within you.
They do!! ❤️
@soulsings
My earliest memories are of my mother taking me outside for a carefree morning; blue skies and the scent of grass.
@caringShoulder1357 that sounds wonderful. The mornings are such a wonderful time.
@soulsings
The scent of tomato leaves !
@Fradiga I vaguely remember those from when family raised tomatoes
@soulsings
It was my grandpa who pointed it out to me
Going to the seaside with family like grandparents
@LeoorImogen1278 salt air has a wonderful scent
My grandparents owned a caravan until they had to give it up last month because of their age but they had it for 18 - 19 years
@soulsings
For me (and hear me out Lol), it's the sound of cicadas calling (screeching 🤣) that signal the beginning of summer, and remind me of the long summer days I spent as a child staying out until 9 pm, playing and riding bikes with the neighborhood kids.
Many people understandably find those little insects annoying, but I always seem to find a bit of comfort and contentment when I can hear them in the evenings.
@cafedaydreams don't they only come out every 17 years?
@soulsings
Only certain species, called 'periodic cicadas' do this. The rest come out every year. :)
@cafedaydreams thanks for the info.
@soulsings The smell of fresh apples. My grandmother used to make homemade apple butter and applesauce. It brings back a lot of happier memories.
Sounds yummy
