Misperception can be a funny thing. Under the right conditions, it can even be charming.
When I dashed out the front door the other evening, I was taken aback by the violet sunset lighting up the sky. What was even more surprising was the scent. A sweet, delicious smell hung over everything. It smelled just like the sky looked - like candy.
What I'd momentarily forgotten were the masses of pink jasmine growing around the corner of the house.
For just a split second, it had seemed like the sky had a scent.
As misperceptions go, it was quite a lovely one.
