Fresh cut grass smells like twilight in the countryside, a football game about to start at the park, or a sunny Saturday morning in the suburbs. So whether you’re driving down a dusty farm road while the sun sets, stretching before the whistle blows, or putting your lawnmower back in the shed after criss-crossing your lot, well … just stop for a second, flare your nostrils real big, tip your head back real far, and take a big whiff, baby.
Because oh yeah.
AWESOME!

I know the feeling. Twice a year I head down into the basement to harvest 50 some odd plants and reek of the finest BC bud for the next week.

If there is no pollen in the air it does smell good.

NOT AWESOME: The 5 to 8 inches of snow currently piling up on my lawn.

next to inhaling the sweet scent of freshly-cut grass, I always have the yearning to run through the area where it all lays there. Heavenly… and nothing quite like it.

I grew up in an area where they grew alfalfa for feed. If you like the smell of fresh cut grass, you should try to catch the smell of fresh mowed alfalfa some time…. its fantastic!

I have to admit, the smell of freshly cut grass is something that I can never get enough of. It is the epitome of what spring smells like.

The smell of freshly cut grass automatically brings out the feeling of hope, of a chance of a new beginning for me.
Too bad there’s a drought where I am. All the grass here is dead.
