I Smelled Earth! . . .

Um . . . come again?

Oh, the verse image isn't really related to today's title.

Though, I suppose, it sure looks like earth!

I just kinda love this picture and wanted that above my blathering on.

(-;

So...what's that...I Smelled Earth???

YES!

I did!

Tonight, on an 8pm jaunt to the mailbox, I inhaled and smelled...shhhh...quiet now, and I know it's absurd in mid-January, in these here parts, to even suggest such a thing...but I smelled...a waft of...

Spring!

Yep, I said it.

And I know it's not really Spring, but it's that smell when it really comes, of, wet, beautiful,

EARTH.

You see, it's been 2-5 degrees around here lately.

It's been "get a headache from the wind hitting your forehead" cold.

I'm not such a fan really.

But today, it took a spike up to 36-ish and the snow got melty, and it felt delightful and well, as I walked through my melting yard, with large patches of grass showing, and mud all over our dirt roads....

Well...

I smelled fresh, lovely, Earth!

It was Divine and hopeful and . . . 

I don't know, just great!

I guess that's about it!

The pic is from Monday morning's drive home from school drop offs.

Another one with the most amazing sunrise over "my" farmers field that I couldn't exactly translate to a photo, but it did it's best, and I kinda got those rays in the bottom.

Ok, chow.

(I really thought I was just going to explain all that above "I smelled Earth" business in a sentence or two, hahahaha!)
