Grass

I had to live in the desert before I could understand the full value of grass in a green ditch.

So I once went to Phoenix for a conference.  While out walking, I noticed that I really liked the smell of some of the flora there.  I couldn't figure out what it was.  It was very strong, but I hadn't smelled it in a while.  I finally figured out what it was...

 

Someone was mowing the lawn.

 

I love that smell.

 

I wouldn't really love it if someone gave me a bouquet of grass clippings, though.  It would make a mess, I think.
