A Rosy Glow

As I drove home tonight I was reminded again why I love living here. The sun was setting, shining a warm rosy glow over the fields and trees. I rolled down the window and smelled "summer". That combination of fresh air and freshly mowed hay mingled with plowed fields. I missed that when I was living on the Coast. There, the sunsets were spectacular (when we weren't fogged in) but the smells were different. They just weren't homey enough.
