Oh, that smell...

Murphy's oil (for cleaning hardwood floors) smells exactly like saddle soap. The moment we opened the bottle I was shot back to days in the tack room learning how to take apart, polish, and reassemble saddles. Oh...yum.
I mopped today. I can't think of the last time I mopped...probably one of my apartments in SF, but who knows. So because I didn't have any strong mopping memories and the smell of the Murphy's Oil was ever-present, I remembered my days of sweeping the corridor in the stables, my riding boots clomping and stomping behind the broom's bristle, horses whickering and watching me with relaxed amusement.
I might just mop again soon for the sheer nostalgia it brought on.
