If you drive far enough down any country road you will eventually find a hundred year old building that is used to store round bales of hay. They get full in the fall as the last bales get moved in and they will be mostly empty by the end of winter.

    My cousins in Colorado have a hay barn about the same age that’s dug partway into the mountain. The smell inside is rich and earthy, heavy but sweet; the kind of scent that one can always faintly recall.
