It’s the end of summer… the days are getting shorter, kids are back in school, vacation time is over.. here at the haus too! That means back to business, in more ways than one. We say a fond farewell to the long languid days… by remembering the myriad aromas associated with this hot and humid time of year.  The clean smell of the air, well.. depending on where you live can come with a bit of burning asphalt, crisp clean mountains, or the beach.  The scents of the tropics, mixed fruits, coconuts, and the familiar aroma of sunscreen or suntan lotion.   The smell of a neighbor having a barbecue… various toasted beasts… burgers and hot dogs… yumm.  Its a grand party here… the last big fling before the dull winter sets in. But things are always busy and buzzing around here!
