of such efficiency. After all, there
are still gladiolus bulbs to dig,
grass which is trying to make up
for a season of drought to cut, and
spring housecleaning to finish
before we’re a total year late.
Still, there are those who get
their jollies from finishing the
holiday crunch before it becomes
one. And I thought of all of you
when I flipped a printed page over
the weekend and found myself
reading an ad on an item that
might be “The Gift” to give this
year.

An electric room freshener.
This nifty-gifty gadget is a small
sort of box, electronically designed
to play what appears to be a cross
between a record and a computer
floppy disk. What’s on the record
disk are smells. Right. As in
fragrances, odors.
Flower smells. And pine tree
smells. And good things like that.
Of course, you can still hit a
spray button on an aerosol can and
get smells that are supposed to
smell like flowers and pine trees,
or bayberry. (But they usually
don’t, just leave the room reeking
of someone-spilled-the-cologne
after effects, which combined with
the lingering aroma, of say, cooked
cauliflower, doesn’t necessarily
“freshen” the air.)
But, hey, I know a market when I
see one. And “country” still sells.
So does “natural.”
Therefore, we are considering
offering for these gadgets a
fragrance album combining all
those classic, natural scents of
country life. A title isn’t certain
yet, but “Country Whiffing” has
kind of a nice ring, don’t you think?
“May Morning” would be an
album feature, a blend of freshly
plowed ground, dewy, green grass
and just a delicate hint of fragrant

peony blossoms. The sequel, no
doubt, could be “June Twilight,” a
heady aroma of roses and
honeysuckle. Possibly even
“Frosty Dawn,” reminiscent of
piles of crisp, woodsy leaves and
woodsmoke.
“New Mown Hay” needs no
explanation, and will hopefully be
far closer to the real thing than a
candle under that scent we once
tried, which reeked of what else
hot green wax.
And how about “Country Fair,”
the nostalgic aroma of sawdust
bedded pigs, cattle in knee-deep
straw, French fries, Italian
sausages and cotton candy. Um
mmmm!
But let’s be real here, now. There
are other country fragrances that,
in fairness, must be included.
Start with the obvious: “Barn
yard Remembrance.” This one
should be mandatory playing for
anyone who waxes poetic about
moving to the country after not

After all, where there are pic

with livestock, there will be barn
yard remembrances which must
be periodically recycled to restore
organic matters in the soils.
