Oh the smell of....

We have it here too. It is part of the joy of living in cow country but I prefer it to city smells and pollution.
But I really don't mind the smell of a horse barn!

I know what you mean! I used to think my sister was nuts because she liked the smell of cow manure "on the wind". She would say "ahh....the fresh country air!" LOL LOL

But yes, I do love the scent of spring. Richard, I was sitting by our open back screened door petting the stray kitty that has moved into the backyard, and it was breezy and smelled like jasmine tea! It smelled so nice!!

Where I live in Gilroy, CA....I get overpowering garlic smell quite often! I do live in "the garlic capitol" !

Hey Cookiebaker, you think the smell is bad in New Hampshire, um, come to Wisconsin "America's Dairyland". LOL!!! That's all you smell here.

LOL!!!! Growing up in the country, I always took the smell of manure for an approching spring.

It doesn't smell that great, but you learn to live with it.

I've cleaned a few horse stalls in my day.

Exactly!!! That's what we always said. I'm not a farm girl, but I am a country girl having grown up in Northern WI surrounded by fields that the farmers just loved to spread with fresh manure. Actually, plain old manure isn't bad, the old fashioned way, but this liquid manure they have these days is horrendous! My mom walks 5 miles every morning and she says when the farmers have just spread the fields, she has to undress in the basement by the washing machine before coming upstairs because just in that 5 miles the smell will get so embedded in her clothes that if she comes in the house with them on, the house will reek for days!

One of the first times I brought Terry to my parents, as we got further North we could get wiffs here and there and the one time I said "Aaaahhhhh...fresh country air." He, being born and raised in Chicago, looked at me like I had lost my mind and said "What are you talking about? It smells like cow s.... to me."
