Pine Scent Air Freshener

The boys and I were walking through the alley on the way to school one sunny day last week. We walked under the eaves of a big white pine. Eli took a deep breath, inhaling in the wonderful smell, and promptly said, "Boy I feel a need to go to Camp DuNord. It's time to get back up north, I miss it!" He told me that he was sitting in music class the other day and all of the sudden he was consumed with a need to get out to camp, to play in the woods. That statement warmed my heart. That smell of pine needles in the sun will always bring me back to my summers at camp- it's time for me to get back up north again too.
