Grandmother had a herb garden — sage, thyme, rosemary. She always said: a garden must smell before it looks.

Apple trees and beans grew in my grandmother's garden. In summer it was a green tunnel between the rows. I always smelled tomatoes and earth.
"Tell me something about your mother's hands. The smell, the shape, what they did."

My mother's hands were rough from doing the laundry, but in the evening when she stroked my hair they felt soft. They smelled of lavender.

My mother's hands smelled of soap and flour, sometimes of the garden — of earth and herbs. When she tucked me in at night, her scent stayed on the pillow.

Sunday morning was quiet. The church bells in the distance, the bread from the oven, and my mother singing softly in the background.
"Describe the bread your family ate. The smell, the shape, who baked it."

The bread was dark and heavy, a whole loaf for the week. My father fetched it from the baker — the smell hung in the house all of Sunday.
