Mid winter ... wet earth smell in the bath

Ahhh .... the incredible earthy smell of wet soil ... watering my houseplants in our bath transports me to warmer seasons; to greenhouses, glass observatories where the fragrance of just-wet earth and green leaves breathing make it hard to draw a deep breath.

Outside a new dusting of snow covers the brown and gray of winter, yet here I am delighted on a February day: humidity, greenery, life, shadows and patterns of light. I can tell the plants are happy for the shower.
