What Is That Smell?

Up until the last couple of days, this year's weather has been rather mild. It's been wonderful for everything green. All spring long, flora and fauna have been in bloom, and extremely fragrant. The lilac bushes next door were like walking into an intoxicating elixir of fragrance. The magnolia tree out front gave off the sweetest smell for the longest time this year. And, I never tired of the smell of fresh cut grass. The scents of spring put me in constant euphoria... until a couple of days ago. The heat and the humidity were competing for the high for the day, and that makes for some less than desirable smells. All of a sudden, overnight, it was smells of stagnant, mosquito infested water, and sweat. I walked out the door this morning and thought, who left their odoriferous socks and shoes outside, to funky up my neighborhood? Then there's the garbage cans! Garbage never smelled so much like garbage, until recently. I practically gag every time I open the lid. Looks like we could get some rain tonight. That should help keep the humidity up and the wreaking smells of Nebraska summer, at an all time high! You gotta love this place, why else would you live here? For the scents?
