oops! pop up bites the dust....
What 10 inches of rain looks like...
I've gotten used to the smell of rotting. With the rain and all the ditches filled with water most of the time, there's alot of matter being broken down releasing their smells into the atmosphere. My barn has a certain "Oh-dear" that is not of the horsey variety. Its not all nice and saddle soapy or vetroliny or even horse hide smelly. Its, well...Moldy. In fact each day I go in there and with out even thinking I start breathing through my mouth. Its just more pleasant that way. That is until this weekend when I got my first load of hay from Maine. Its a very nice timothy and the twenty bales have completely changed my barn. I walked in there for morning feed and sneezed, forgot to breathe through my mouth and viola! My moldy cave had become a barn overnight. I could smell fly spray! I could smell hay! I could smell horses! OMG! Its fabulous....I wasn't sure I would ever get a nasal glimpse of the barn smells from my fondest memories again. Not bad for $200.
