    Ah yes, the smell of fresh cut grass. The other day after my neighbor had cut his grass I was outside and took a deep breath and it was heaven. I’m also loving the smell of grilling food. I’ve been contemplating searching out who’s been grilling and inviting myself to dinner

    I love the scent of beautiful flowers and of freshly cut grass too. I am thankful for the cool temps we have had for days now. It makes yard work so much more pleasant.

    Ah yes, fresh cut grass is one of those subliminal scents that trigger gratitude and smiles with hopefully no allergic response. 😊

      Sandee says:

      I’m not allergic to much. Grass and blossoms are fine with me. Scritches to the Ranch Hands and a smooch to Norman. 🙂
