I stepped outside this morning for my usual walk to work and was astounded by how good everything smelled. Wet grass, wet leaves, wet flowers, wet cedar mulch all carried on a gentle breeze, perfuming the world. I found the near-overload of my olfactory sense centering and rejuvenating.
It was so wonderfully fragrant that I wanted to call everyone I knew and get them to stand outside and just breathe. :)
But I didn't, because, well, unless you have to be up, 6:30 on a Saturday morning is cruel and unusual. ;)
The only downside to my walk was when the air changed after a low rumble of thunder. I could feel my lungs start to constrict and I was panting by the time I got to work. I thought, at first, that I was congested and sick, but the air clinging to me like wet cotton is a pretty good indicator that it's all weather, baby.
