It rained last night and cooled things off around here. But what brought me joy, was sitting on the patio, and the outdoor rustic country aromatic smell of nature , from the wet trees, in the forest that my yard backs up to. It smelled just like it did at my fav. aunt's house out in the country, when I was a kid. When I was about 7 yrs old I spent a summer with her, some of my fav. memories were made that summer. My love and appreciation for the outdoors, and nature, were cemented that summer. And my fantasies of owning a ranch with lots of acres and a big barn, were created from my adventures that summer. It's amazing how some smells take you back, the memories seem so vivd, such a happy time, just put me in a great mood!!!
