The smell of grass ...

[Luanne]

... is just killing me. They just finished mowing my grass and the smell makes it difficult for me to breathe. While they were mowing it was worse. Hopefully as the day goes by it will lesson even more.

 

Achooooooooo! Sorry about that.

See, I thought you were going to finish your sentence as:

 

The smell of grass...

 

is one of the greatest pleasures of summer.

 

I love the smell of freshly cut grass. :001_smile:

Aw, I'm sorry it makes you stuffy!

 

I have just in the last few years started developing hayfever but the smell of freshly cut grass is still one of the most wonderful things to me. Very Proustian. Unfortunately, I only rarely get a whiff of it - the grass here is different than the grass of my childhood. It doesn't smell the same. Only once in a while do I detect a faint undernote of the smell I remember.

 

There are a few wild roses which evoke the same nostalgic response...

Keep those windows closed! Turn off the A/C while they mow.

 

We love the smell of freshly cut grass, but our youngest son cannot handle it. He never mows any more and we keep all the vestiages of grass out of the house.

I am so allergic to grass. We live on an army post and they mow MILES of grass every Tuesday. It's my "I hate grass" day. I take a Claritin D, Mucinex, and use homemade pepper spray up my nose to survive.

 

I feel your pain. My eyes swell shut if I don't do anything.
