They have started haymaking in the fields at the top of the road and tonight everything smells wonderful.

It rained last night!! Disaster. But I'm hoping it'll have dried out today.

The smell is everywhere in the back ground, but just occasionally there's this gust of sweetness that makes my head spin.

That scent always speaks spring to me...not that we get anything like spring around here. We just get Big Winter and Little Winter. :)

Oh the damp and muggy joy of a temperature climate.

Yes - although I suppose the up-side is that we all have wonderful complexions. :)

ooh, lovely. Here it smells like tomato vines and weeds, and just vegetation in general. Not bad, but not haying, either!

That sounds like a nice smell.

Hay and horse barns and tomato plants..."Back East" summertime!

Hot granite, pine trees, and sage... Colorado summertime...

You are so lucky! I love the smell of fresh mown hay! (Bet Gwyn does, too....)

(Funnily enough haymaking is part of the plot.)

That granite, pine and sage sounds like a marvellous combination. Very Zane Grey!

Ahh...

There's nothing quite like that smell, is there.
I spent a few years in my life with all things horses so I know the smell. This actually brings back wonderfully relaxing and happy memories. It also reminds me of how much work horse care was, but for sure, those were the good old days.

I always preferred looking after them to riding them. I was never any good at that but I could groom and muck out like a champion!

Oh, that sounds wonderful! Lovely summery smell, I bet.

It's funny, because today I was talking to someone about the lovely smell our lemon-scented gum tree's giving out. It's in blossom at the moment, and when the sun shines on it, the smell of honey is amazing.

It's a scent that takes me right back to my childhood. We used to help with the haymaking when I was a kid and have picnics up in the hayfields. Now, of course, it's all done by one man with a massive machine that makes those horrible huge rolls wrapped in plastic, but in those days it was bales that could be used to make little forts and houses. Such fun!

You tree sounds lovely.

It is, absolutely. The smell of hay the squeal of swifts and the taste of rough cider!
