The Scent of the rain.

Ever wondered about the aroma you get from the earth after rain falls? Some people I know cant stand it.
But it makes me feel so close to nature and grounded.
I sometimes go outside and just sit there during and after the rain just to take it all in.
I wonder if the scent is the same in different parts of the world.

Ok so enough of my weirdness.

The scent of the rain is actually called Petrichor.

@Ccincy Yes fresh cut grass is nice as well.

Hiya sweet lady. There´s nothing weird about enjoying the scent of the earth after the rain. I only wish we had more of this here.sigh

I also miss all the greenery and the falling leaves of the autumn.sigh

But I suppose I can´t have everything. I have the sea - which is my element - and the sun all the year round and I can get grounded most of the time-dancing

Maybe more blessed than lucky.wine
