The Smells of Summer: Green Mosquito Coils!

Fresh water at the beach?

Newly mown lawn?

Steaks on the grill?

Naw - nothing smells like summer more than the smoke from green mosquito coils, delicately wafting on the evening air.

The smell of freshly turned-over rich, black dirt. That one goes along with the smell of sweat and bugspray and suncreen, too. :slight_smile:

I really dislike those green coils. I have had to leave restaurants because of them. Nasty!

No bug coils around here. The prevailing summer scents are fresh-mown hay and manure.

When I was a kid, I thought those were incense.

The maroon coloured ones smell just the same.
