I'm not exactly where the feeling comes from, but after the effort of mowing (and taking extra care ensuring that the paths are straight), weeding, some raking, etc. there is something so satisfying in the resultant smell of cut grass, the pristine serenity of clean lines and a trimmed appearance.

Standing out on the deck & having the embedded sprinkler system come on and feed the freshly distressed grass, all while a thin veil of low-hanging cloud sifts over the surface... it's very satisfying.

I suppose the feeling comes from a renewed sense of order, of having things in a clean state, a lush green set against your house, it's inviting. The flowers simply pop off a lush manicured green as well.

Anyway, happy Memorial Day to those celebrating today. Enjoy the friends, the family, and the fun. Time to crack a few cold ones, be it soda, water or suds.
