The lovely smells of the country

Ya gotta love it when you open the door on a beautiful spring morning, laundry basket in hand with lovely scented clothes all washed and ready to hang out.You take a deep breath to inhale the warmth of the earth and damp grass only to fill your nostrils with the putrid smell of pig manure. Yep, that's living in the country.
Oh well, it could be smog and fog, right?
Today is a day of mixed feelings for me. Busyness, discouragement, dissatisfaction,
frustration.....I have these days once in awhile. My life seems so dull and ho hum which is ok sometimes.
I'll get through this day and tomorrow will be ok. I have to trust and have faith in God and draw close to him. I have slipped away like rolling down a grassy hill. It's fun until you stop and then you are dizzy, the world is spinning and your direction isn't clear. So you lay still for a few minutes, closing your eyes, listening to the sounds until your head stops spinning. Open your eyes, watch the clouds drift by and take a moment to be silent with your creator. This is what I need to do.
I wonder if our hill is dry yet......

Here's to an aromatic day!
