RAIN

It had been sprinkling along my drive home, and as I stepped out of my Ford, the smell of the rain was delicious. Just a bit of water on soil and vegetation. I am sure that the chemical make up of these things can explain the delightful aroma. I am sure that someone who understands the elements and compounds could explain the reasons that rain and earth make me so very happy. 

Maybe a wiser person could explain why the rain in Kentucky in spring smells so different than the rain in the Arizona desert. But no matter the reasons, these smells are glorious and truly a splendid thing to enjoy.
