Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
We are made of dreams and bones
Need a place to grow my own

Olfactory joy
There are a few garden smells that stop me in my tracks and one of them is the smell of a carrot when it first comes out of the ground. It is soil and sweetness. I love it.
I love earthy smells & carrots have such a sweet earth smell. I notice that same smell when I pull Queen Anne's Lace as it's related to the carrot. Just thinking of it, I experience it. Nice.
I hear you on that. It's a shame that most people never smell that smell.
ReplyDeleteLeslie & Liz - Agree with both of you! My kids love pulling carrots straight out of the ground and eating them like a snack.
ReplyDeleteI don't often get to smell that smell because they're usually all gone before I get to them.
