I love the smell of cedar wood. When I see the flag, I can smell it.

I always think of how the doors of the ancient temples of Pharaonic Egypt were lined with cedar and how cedar was used in many other ways too. They are truly the trees of the gods.

Oh for sure. They were used to make boats because they repeal water. So interesting.
