Aah... Those Country Odors!

Freshly mowed grass is my most favorite country odor - it reminds me of playing in the haystacks, making tunnels or leaping from tree branches and sinking deep into the grass; or making horse jumps using hay bales; and how about that smell of horses -it brings back all those exhilarating emotions one feels when one is galloping so fast that one's eyes tear up.
There's also driving on dirt roads and that unmistakable dust smell, and the fresh, dry-earth smell that comes with the first rain storm of the season, or the rich earth odor when the tractor is ploughing.

One thing we don't smell out in the country is exhaust fumes and factory waste -these are the odors that can cause illness and death. We do have unpleasant odors here, though - manure as in a dairy farm when it's rained a lot - feed lots, and hogs farms - some people may think these are sweet, but not me.

One thing's for sure, though, they are all unmistakably "country".
