January softens to 62 degrees. We open the windows, welcome air foamed with false spring. My daughter says I missed the smell of the earth, and I know what she speaks to–that blend of mud and grass; greens and browns rolling through and darkening the wind.

I like the smells in this one. It smells like spring to me.

Thanks, Alice.
Oh Susan, I like this very much… Yes I do 🙂
Thanks, Boomie.
I LOVE your first two sentences. And I am also thrilled with this tease of early spring.
Oh, thank you! Yeah, that thaw is SUCH a tease 😉
Lovely Susan…I am stuck in a never ending loop of Summer 😉
🙂 Thank you
Yes Susan, the smell of the earth can be quite intoxicating
It certainly can!
Such a tease, today. 65 days to spring. 🙂
I know…. Sigh.
yes, lovely to smell the earth! the smell of the earth as it drinks the first drops of rain after a long harmattan period is just wonderful!
Exactly, Noel. We don’t realize we miss it until we smell it again.
