Landmark of summer at home (story)

The landmark for me is the smell of summer evening at home in southern California. I don't know why, but once the sun sets and it's in the middle of summer, it always smells like that. It's like the smell of summer lawn grass combined with the smell of bushes that have been gently brushed by the breeze. It's such a great smell, complemented by the penetration of cool, dry air through the mesh of the window after a hot day. The smell is not identical to a sunset breeze in Hawaii, but it emanates the same vibe. It's the smell of cozy sore limbs after swim practice, and dinner outside on the patio with my family, and the smell of summer school and summer camp. It tells you that everything is okay. You don't need to worry. You can play Minecraft or watch a movie into the night. I love this landmark, because it's the landmark of southern California. It reminds you to chill tf out. When it's summertime in NorCal, it simply doesn't remind me to chill tf out. It tells me to stress or grind or something. My suburban hometown is sufficiently sparse that there's really nothing else to do but be at peace.
