Memories

This afternoon at the ranch, I was reminded of my Grandpa.

I was able to help build a podeum. My Grandpa was a carpenter and it always smelled like sawdust and wood. I love the smell of freshly cut wood.

And then it rained and hailed. It was incredible listening to the hail on the tin roof of the barn. It reminded me of camping as a kid and hearing the rain pour down on our tent trailer roof. I love storms!

But my most favorite is musty barn smell. It reminded me of when I was little and my brother and I would explore the barn at my aunt and uncles. We'd climb the ladders into the loft and just sit looking out over the yard. Those were some great summers.
