I swear even as I flew over Vermont today, i could smell it.. As I walked out of the airport I could smell it.. as I left work .. there it was again.. but, what was it.,? I smelled it again as I left UVM.. It didn’t hit me until drove into richmond that I was smelling ”spring’. Spring being a euphemism for manure. I smell it everywhere.Folks pour liquid manure on their fields before plowing.. Like everything, it’ s come a little early this year., but its a welcome sign of the coming green. Actually, it’s amazingly green already.. Our flowers are up and many of the trees are showing a little green.
Welcome manure, welcome spring
nite all, nite sam

But was it really manure? It was from Burlington to our home in Jericho. I thought it had a strong chemical odor to it – more like inorganic fertilizers.
