      Can't say as I've ever smelled the Great Salt Lake but I can imagine it might be kinda strong? Love fresh cut grass too. Thanks for sharing!

      Hmm, interesting, I think I know what you mean about a clean stable. And my Dad smoked a pipe and I loved that smell. And all leather smells so good.

    Babies just after a bath. A ripe grapefruit. Growing flowers like gardenias. Magnolia tree flowers. A summer night heavy with humidity while you're sppeding down a highway. The first day of Fall weather.

    Getting off subject here but found out early this morning(still dark outside) that our neighbor killed a rattle snake in his yard. Hubby got home around 6am and the neighbor yelled at him to watch for snakes in our yard.
    That is one thing that I really don't like to know;(well nice to know) but I wouldn't want to see one.

      Wow!! What a reality check! Here I was smiling, drifting, thinking of all these lovely smells everyone is listing & remembering my own and bam! a rattlesnake slithering around the yard pops into my head. I'm with you & hope you don't see one either. OK back to babies & flowers...

    2. ColleenOctober 6, 2016 at 7:45 AM

      Julie; it's very uncommon to see any snakes really in our area. A little garden snake once in awhile but out of 15 years living here I have only seen one tiny garden snake but nothing like a rattler or any other snakes for that matter.
      I just hope I never come across one. Will be the first for the neighbors seeing a little old lady running as fast as she can running through the neighborhood screaming her fool head off.

    1. fresh-cut clover or alfalfa hay curing in the warm sun on a perfect baling day. 2. freshly milled cowfeed. 3. (tie) freshly turned compost pile/leaf mold/plowed ground, tied with my mom's beef roast in the oven. 4. perfectly ripe homegrown fruit/veggies - apples now, but canteloupe, peaches and tomatoes are my faves at other times. --suz, in a farmy part of ohio

      Having never been around that, I can imagine though it's wonderful, especially warmed in the sun. Oh and freshly turned soil/dirt smells wonderful. And beef roast, I love that smell too. It makes me look forward to dinner even more, ha. Thanks Suz!!!!
