Joys Of Summer

Smells are one of the joys of summer.  One smell I particularly like is the smell of pineapple weed when I mow the lawn.  Also known as wild chamomile, pineapple weed is edible in salads and in tea.  Rubbing a bruised plant on your skin temporarily repels insects.  Quite a bit of pineapple weed grows next to my driveway so that part is particularly pleasant to mow.
