It does!!

The large hail brought down bits of the ends of branches – live bits with fresh sap. A LOT of live bits with fresh sap. The sun hit them today and suddenly it smells like Christmas :) !

It was just before 1:00 p.m., temperature about 74F – almost July and it smelled like Christmas walking down the driveway to get the mail.

Hey, Bob! Dontcha’ think it smells like Christmas??

What??? Oh, yeah…if you say so…it smells like Christmas.

That means it is time for my “long winter’s nap”…

And see, there is the moon. Lights out.

Well, it DOES smell like Christmas.
