Freshly Cut Grass

omg i love this smell but did u kno that its toxic

Toxic? I'll need that explained, please…

when u cut grass or any plant for that matter it releases VOC's (volitile organic compounds) n theses compounds often contain methane, acetone, and formaldehyde, which all of the following r harmful to animals n humans but thankfully the grass usually doesnt give off enough of these compounds to hve a severe effect on any humans but the acetone that is released isnt helping our atmosphere either

 so there u hve it .. i still love the smell of it but it actually does more bad then good

Walking barefoot on freshly cut grass feels amazing . :)

And thanks for the info dumbbrunette, ill remember to hold my breath from now on . :) haha

One thing I hate about grass...

BUGS.

true but i find that there are less  bugs right after its freshly cut, so thats just another added bonus

2 lisad75: dont hold your breath for to long ok  haha

oh…good smell…i love it in the morning, when i open my window…

I didnt know it was toxic, interesting

I don't actually live in the country, but if I let my grass get long enough, then cut it a day or two after a good rain… I find snakes! Pretty interesting, huh! Not little garter snakes, I mean big garter snakes, I tried to take a pic w/ my phone, but my hand was shaking too badly! (not really)

eeewwww I hate snakes! I would never cut the grass again if I ever found one in my yard

You cut the grass Steph?

on occassion I've been know to, thank you very much

the best thing to walk on…but the smell makes me nauseous…
