Get in the dirt!

Just a quick post here today.  Thinking about Earth Day which comes up in a few days.

I applied organic fertilizer in my kitchen garden and landscape this weekend.  It's a tiny ... stinky.  In a good way, at least I think so.  My husband asked me if something died in the garden, haha. 

After I realized that I could still smell the soil and the "organic-ness" of my garden, even at the neighbors' house, the next couple days, it got me thinking.  

Why do some folks think it smells bad, while others (at least me) find it settling and wonderful?

I'm not sure I have the answer to that, but I really enjoyed this recent article from The New York Times about The Health Benefits of Getting in the Dirt.  And I wanted to share it with you.

Why Dirt is Good

​Let me know what you think!  Maybe go make a mud pie if you don't keep a garden 🤠...

Happy Earth Day!
