The smell of rain, especially in the summer when it is dry in the West is my favorite. –Curt

I know the smell you mean, but that’s not the smell in my mind when I wrote this. The grass here is green and tender and was very long last week because of the rain. The smell, when it’s cut, isn’t that musky dry smell (which is absolutely wonderful), but rather a pungent, sweet, delicious, almost sticky, sort of smell. Interesting contrast Curt…….
