Sewnoma, I kind of understand. My mother liked the smell of gasoline.

You quilters are ALL so lucky. it is still hot out here in So CA I have had to set my A/C up to 81. Not looking forward to seeing my electric bill this month.
|
I live in Northern California and all we can smell is smoke. Last night is was cool and windy so the winds brought the smoke in. It is awful this morning.
|
We are in my kind of weather stage, between 70 and lower 80s. I have allergies and can't open my windows any time of the yr. But my house is on the cool side especially with 3 air cleaners going. I don't like it too cold because it seams now that I'm older, the cold goes right to my bones and then it takes forever to heat them back up.

When we were married (56 yrs ago) we remodeled an a-banded farm house, we had to dig a basement and the men found skunkS had made their home there. Well the old saying that if a skunk sprays on wood near you it will last for seven years ! It's true, every time we had company or if it rained , it was there. We are still in that house, no more skink smell, but hubby has a No Kill trap out ever since and still gets one once in awhile. We learned to cover the trap with a blanket before going near it.

ITs raining here and the smell is wonderful so far .. We had skunk on the camping trip; but now that we are home the rain smells good !

It makes me think of puppy breath, and dark coffee. I will take skunk smell over freshly-fertilized-field smell any day!! Or even worse, the "fragrance" that comes from the local dairy cows. I live in a suburb that's right on the edge of where town ends and the country begins, so I get to smell both on a regular basis. When the wind changes and starts blowing towards my house from the dairy, you would be amazed at how quick DH & I can get all the windows in the house closed! Also agree that dairy, pig and chicken farms smell MUCH worse! Thanks for keeping me in good company! |
