Grew up on a farm. 34 degrees right now and I miss the smell of diesel burning during cold weather....from tractors and had a diesel heater in the barn. What about you?
Well, there are plenty of farmers that will let you be a hand for a morning tomorrow, since you are so nastalgic. I worked on a farm growing up. Give me 95 and humid over 34, cold and misting any day I ever have to work outside.

Sugar Cane and Pecan Harvest in the fall
Sandlot like baseball games going on in the neighborhood, Right arm hurting so bad from pitching you rubbed it with icy hot all evening and you pitched again the next day.
Hunting wood ducks with my father for that 1 hour in the afternoon
Dove hunts on Labor Day weekend
The smell of Old Charter at my grandparents house in the evenings

The smell of the sugar mills burning bagasse. Leaving at dawn to go ride bikes, play football, fish, etc. and not coming home till the street lights came on.
Coming home from school and smelling dinner cooking.

Climbing trees, coming home when the street lights came on.
I dread the holidays, because it feels like another year is gone. The passage of time is rough for those who live “in the moment”. So I just ignore it

Driving up from BR almost every Sunday to Mississippi to spend the day with both sets of grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. Could always count on fried chicken on my mom’s side for lunch and roast beef on my dad’s side for supper. I miss the days when extended families lived fairly close and visited often.

I still swear I would’ve made it to the big leagues if it hadn’t been for that. Posted on 11/15/18 at 7:07 am to DingLeeBerry
My tolerance for the summer heat. I use to run outside damn near all day long in the summer months then come home to a house with only a large window fan to cool things down at night and I don't remember being particularly bothered by it
Now, if my A/C is not working, I'm dying and the simple task of walking outside to do the least little thing finds me sweating bullets.

Every Sunday our family would head to one of my aunt's house uptown in N.O. for an early evening meal. My grandma lived with her and those two Cajun women could cook anything and make it delicious.
My Aunt Judy's brown gravy could have been a national treasure and when she made it you could smell the roux for blocks away.
It was not unusual to have pot roast with rice and brown gravy, meatballs and spaghetti, salad, deserts and she'd make either fresh lemonade, iced tea or the old style Zatarain's Root Beer from concentrate for us kids to drink.
And my grandma's unique way to make coffee. She'd boil a pot of water, dump coffee grounds in it and let it boil for a bit longer then strain it through a piece of cheesecloth into one of those white porcelain coffee pots. Then she'd place that over the pilot light on the stove to stay hot and warmed milk to place over the other pilot light to stay warm. Then she'd put the coffee cup right in the middle of the stove and pour from both pots for her café au'lait.

My metabolism
Amen to that. If I eat now, like I did back then, I'd be 400 lbs. Luckily mine lasted until I hit 50 and then it just decided to go on vacation to leave me to my own devices.

My brother and me at 8 years old sitting on my grandmother's front porch early morning during summer visits with a single shot 22 to kill the foxes that were stealing her chickens. She hated those foxes but we never hit managed to hit one.
Paddling my grandfather around his small lake by the house in a jon boat while he caught bass or bluegill to fry for dinner. My grandmother's corn bread, and their love for us.
Exploring the woods without getting snake bit.
Great times.

Here's another one thing I miss. The smell of air dried sheets and pillowcases on a bed. We'd hang our laundry outside on a clothes line and the sheets always smelled so fresh and clean. No dryer I've ever owned can come close to duplicating that smell.
Oh, and drying pants with those expandable wire frames that put creases in the legs as they dried. The pants dried and you removed the wire frame and your pants would be damn near stiff enough to stand on their own.

-Afterschool or weekend pick up games of basketball or football with all time QB, or smear the queer
-The tingly, warm feeling when you found out a girl "liked" you
-Going to football games with Dad, tailgating on the parade grounds, but worried more about throwing the football before the game than the actual LSU game.
-Continuing a game on nintendo after school or on the weekends on a part you were stumped on.
-spending the weekend with my brother and cousin at my grandmas house in Lafayette and riding scooters down hills until dark, then watching Big Trouble in Little China every night.
