Somewhere along the line, most of us come from farming stock. And if we're lucky...

How ever was it that us two certified city babes, shopping maven’s extraordinaire, worldly and with a spirit of wanderlust, married a farmer!?

Lol!! That's a smell you never forget!

It's almost as bad as the smell from the bear marking his territory on my garden shed at the cabin!!

Oh no! That is horrible! I can't imagine that one! Eau de Ursus is not my idea of a fragrance I want to encounter any time soon.

What a lovely post Lois! I used to live in Santa Cruz, CA and there was a mushroom farm in town that regularly would replenish the dirt they used for growing their next crop. The whole town would smell like mushroom dirt manure and compost for about a week. It seems to permeate everything! So funny. I love your writing style and really enjoyed your earlier posts from Iceland. Farmers are our unsung heroes in America! Thanks for posting!

I'm so glad you enjoyed my posting about Farmer B, Ed. Mushroom dirt does leave a lasting impression. Iceland was a very interesting place to visit, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unusual travel adventure. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement.
