It smells and sounds like spring 

[lesbiansnoopy]

Not to romanticize on main but there is really something healing about sitting in front of an open window listening to birds and wind chimes and enjoying a natural breeze. It’s like the world is telling you breath

So most people are familiar with “petrichor,” a word that describes the smell of the earth after rain. This happens because the rain stimulates the rocks, soil, and plants to produce oils, as well as stimulating ozone.

Spring time has a similar thing, a literal smell that deeply effects us as the world wakes up. It’s a smell that’s part of petrichor but here it’s much stronger. And that is geosmin. Geosmin is produced by deep algaes and soil bacterias and as the earth “wakes up” after winter it’s a lot more potent because the ground is more open. So even if there hasn’t been rain fall our noses are very attuned to “hello, the dirt is awakening.” It tickles our little cave man brain.

You can find perfumes and candles that include “geosmin” as an ingredient. Great if you live somewhere where you can’t really open windows or if you have some winter time blues.

I heard spring peepers last night for the first time this year. And the mosquitoes aren’t out yet.

This is my favourite time of year.

1918, Spanish Flu. “Wear a mask or go to jail”

Dude! I don’t even think anything needs to be said. It was 1918, WE ARE IN 2020, we are supposed to be smarter, more intelligent, because we all have more access to information.
