smells of summer

the other day, as I was walking to work, I passed a narrow park along Christie Street. There are usually several people meeting, eatting, exercising in this park. And it was here that I smelled a peculiarly familiar smell. . . I couldnt place it at first. It definitly reminded me of summer . . . was it watermelon? yep, I think thats it . . . . wait. It was recently-cut-grass smell. I cant believe my mind couldnt link the smell and object quicker! I mean, I mowed our lawn for a few summers at home, that smell should be ingrained! Its not like I'm not near grass, I walk in the park a couple of times a week. . . . weird. perhaps time for ginko or a trip to the 'burbs.
