23. Walk through your neighbourhood or nearby park and write down all the different things you can smell, such as fresh cut grass, moist soil, flowers, and rain.

24. Make a sand saucer of flowers or even vegetable people!

25. Pick a bouquet of flowers (making sure you get permission first) and present them to a friend or family member. That is a sure way to brighten someones day
