I want that grass to be freshly cut daily; love the smell. This was brought to my nose when I read your haiku Bill.

I glad you got a whiff. It does smell good after a fresh cut and then a little rain or watering. :-) Hugs, Bill

Your haiku and its theme of rebirth immediately transported me back to the school playing fields of those long hot summers of childhood: the smell of the new mown grass and the petrol lawnmower. Amazing what a few lines can do! Cheers - Gary

Great memories, Gary, especially arrive before the game to a freshly moved ball field. Amazing what a few (white lines) can do. :-) Have a great week my friend! Bill
