canuck Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I just finished cutting an acre of lawn. Fortunately, was not pushing a mower but riding a garden tractor. Mom and Dad who live in the the second house on my property drove in and we spent some time agreeing that cut grass looks great but the smell is more wonderful than it's looks. Is there anything that smells better than a freshly mowed lawn? Perhaps a fresh cut hay field? This is the question. What scent brings back memories? Good memories.

canuck Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Ah, the smell of the sea. Tis a wonderful scent. The nuances between a flood and ebb are wonderful. Fresh cut hay/grass brings back memories of a time when one was paid $4.00 for a 10 hour day to bring in the hay. Hard work but I love that smell.
