December

An essay on December by my daughter, age 7. Spelling and punctuation are as it was written.
Written on December 1, 2005

What I like about December is that the first day of winter is in this month. Winter is so beutiful that it is almost as beutiful as spring!



It looks as if it were sleeping because of it's white blanket. But sleeping winter is fun because when you make shapes in the snow, your shapes get sewed into winter's blanket.



And when winter wakes up, she puts her blanket away but she is still beutiful. Those are the things I like about December.



It was brought to my attention last night that I had promised to post my scent of the day and I've been remiss. My deepest apologies.

Today's Fragrance: Susanne Lang Cashmere dry oil roll on. The description from LaCreme Beauty is: "As we journeyed by camel across the Jailsalmer desert, the sunset took forever to die in its furnace glow. Night rise was enthralling, the pinprick seductions of a billion stars, the calming solitude of lunar horizon. I pulled my cashmere shawl closer, detected hints in the wool, the aroma of incense, spices and precious woods sold in the market where I had bartered for it."

That's a pretty good description. This is a very snuggly, warm scent, but with a hint of sweet lime, maybe cedar, keeping it from being one you completely sink into, like a too-soft bed. This is a just-right bed, with a snuggly down comforter. I get the spices, but they're subtle. I get the precious woods, again subtle. It dries down to a great skin scent and if I had to guess (I can't find any listed notes) I'm pretty sure I'd say there's a bunch of Tonka bean in there - which to me is a nonfoody vanillic comforting scent.
