of a late spring rainshower on a fresh cut hay field reminds me of my childhood. How about you?

What is a hay field? For that matter what is a rainshower?

So you're telling me it smells nothing like concrete baking in the sun????

No, nothing like concrete. Think a fresh mown lawn and rain. That's close, but still not the same.
The other smell I love is the first cool day of fall after a hot summer. There's something sad and fleeting about that smell.

Sorry Johnny, I'm an urban gal. I think the closest I get is probably that first rain of the very short rainy season on asphalt

Hard to be in touch with the world when you live in a city.

So, what smells remind you of your childhood?

ocean breezes. Barbecue. Violets. Hot wet asphalt in the first half hour of rain. Fertilizer in the hot sun.
