Freshly popped popcorn is a familiar and popular smell. (File photo)

Now, I香蕉视频直播檓 no Bill Nye the Science Guy, but I香蕉视频直播檒l have to call it a successful experiment.

For the last couple of weeks, I wanted to semi-boldly go where no columnist (me, anyway) had gone before.

First, I wanted you to be able to 香蕉视频直播榟ear香蕉视频直播 a column. ()

The following week, I wanted you to be able to 香蕉视频直播榮mell香蕉视频直播 a column. ()

There was a wide variety of responses from all over the province, which is always fun.

Here香蕉视频直播檚 a small sampling of some of your favourites, starting with smells:

香蕉视频直播淭he best and absolute most memorable scent, is a turkey roasting in the oven. The whole house smells like an epic feast is about to take place!香蕉视频直播

香蕉视频直播淎s a gardener a real old-world rose scent so intense as the sun warms the petals it arrests you as you walk past;

The pungent smell of violets crushed while walking across the lawn;

My herb garden 香蕉视频直播 rosemary, thyme, sage;

Newly turned earth while planting in spring;

The way a puppy smells;

As a farm girl from the middle of the last century, the smell of lanolin reminds me of lambs;

Dettol as the vet香蕉视频直播檚 trunk reeked of it;

From the same era, every school concert smelled of wet wool from the winter coats;

The smell of snow in the air the day before it falls;

And to this day, winter and summer I hang my sheets on the line to capture the wind and the sun. Think it is my ultimate favourite.香蕉视频直播

Fresh cut cedar as you香蕉视频直播檙e stacking firewood in fall;

Your puppy香蕉视频直播檚 fur when he comes home from the groomer;

A baby香蕉视频直播檚 skin or hair;

And a few sounds:

香蕉视频直播淭he sound you can make when you put your index finger into your puffed cheek and make a 香蕉视频直播榩op香蕉视频直播 sound;

Tinkling of outdoor chimes;

The sound of music from an approaching ice cream truck;

Most European and Newfoundland accents, especially my aunties calling me on the phone and asking what the time is. They would always forget that they are 4 1/2 hours ahead.香蕉视频直播

香蕉视频直播 Judee Doyle

香蕉视频直播淭he screaming sound of a fishing reel as a salmon takes the lure and runs it;

The sound of a whale blowing out its blowhole;

The sound of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires squealing on the asphalt;

Sound of kids laughing in the playground;

Sound of eagles talking or calling to each other;

The sound of coins dropping from a winning roll on a old slot machine.香蕉视频直播

香蕉视频直播 Rob Fraser

The crunch and crackle of autumn leaves underfoot;

The sound of hundreds of voices singing 香蕉视频直播極 Canada香蕉视频直播 in a stadium/arena;

The sound of a hunting hawk wheeling overhead.香蕉视频直播

香蕉视频直播 Susan Pallister

香蕉视频直播淗ow about the sound of a golf ball dropping in the hole? Or the sound of a really well hit ball off the tee.香蕉视频直播

The crunch of boots on the snow on a sunny, cold day.香蕉视频直播

香蕉视频直播 Gail Leatherdale

The clatter of a linotype typesetting machine;

The rumble of a newspaper press running while you香蕉视频直播檙e at your desk at an afternoon-publishing newspaper;

Probably my favourite is the sound of rain on the deck of your boat when you香蕉视频直播檙e safely in your bed at anchor.香蕉视频直播
