I Did Not Know This

Maybe it's because my sense of smell has been unreliable for so long (but it seems to have been coming back, over the last year or so). Maybe it's because most of the house-flowers I've been exposed to have been more decorative than fragrant. At any rate, I hadn't realized how the sweet flower odor can spread through a room, from an appropriately placed vase. I put the flowers Mrs. S gave me in a more-or-less central location - not a great place for looking at, but a place from which it can offer its benediction in many directions - and the house is a more pleasant place because of it.

Definitely going to consider keeping flowers around.
