Does a sensory experience ever trigger an interesting association in your mind? I find it happens to me quite often. Usually it involves lighting somehow but it can be a result of smell or touch as well. The other afternoon the sun was on it's way down and I noticed sun dogs on either side of it. The first thing that popped into my mind? Peter Gzowski. Strange! My guess is I was listening to his program in the car when I was a kid and either happened to see sun dogs at the same time or perhaps he was discussing them with someone on air. It hasn't happened everytime I've seen sun dogs though so I'm thinking it was likely the former. Does this ever happen to you?

I do sometimes link to resources that I and my family personally use and recommend. I participate in Amazon's associates program and if you enter Amazon.ca through my blog and then make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage of the sale. I link to Amazon more for the sake of making it easy for people to find certain book titles, however, if you have a local bookshop that has a good selection please support independent booksellers. I often shop on eBay and online secondhand book shops as we don't have a book shop of any size nearby.

Yes! There is a particular kind of light on certain summer evenings that my Mom and I refer to as "tomato watering light". It goes back when I was 8 or so and my Dad would water the garden after supper as the sun was just starting to set. Mom is the only one who knows just what kind of light I mean, and it's such a happy memory for us :)
