Can you believe this? Tonight, for the first time in a VERY long time, we went out to take a walk around our neighborhood! Yes! You read correctly! The weather was nice, the wind was blowing a little AND there was NO stink! We walked for about 30 minutes and we smelled NOTHING!!! Yippee!!!

Here I am, sitting in our office, with the window open, thinking that I'll let some fresh air in, it's such a nice day, when a sent of "Pierrefonds" comes in... I must say that it is quite faint, but nonetheless there is a little aroma in the air, and I wouldn't say it's a pleasant one...
There goes my idea of enjoying some fresh spring air... I guess I'll have to change my way of thinking when it comes to "fresh sent"... This is getting really old. I really don't want to spend another spring/summer indoors because of their nasty smells!

It's one thing to put up with the smell of a smoking cigar neighbor, or the smell of a not-so-well maintenained car, but a smell from the city - that's bad! We don't live in La Tuque, so I don't expect my city to stink - I know it would be too much to ask for clean air, I JUST want it to be odorless! Is that too much to ask?

I've decided to write as well, since this is OUR blog about OUR stinky city!
Actually, I must say that I'm quite impress that it hasn't smelled that bad, considering that things are melting. The tulips are starting to show their leaves, and since we basically don't have any snow left on our lawn, it's quite surprising that we have had no odors... or I should say so little. Every so often, the light aroma of "Eau de Landfill" tickles our nostrils, but nothing to really complain about. Let's hope it remains that way!

On the other hand, we did notice that our water has been emanating a little smell of its own... We only use tap water to do the dishes, laundry, etc., but not to drink, and I've been noticing that when brushing my teeth, there was a smell to the water - chlorine! I've been wondering if that is to hide the other smells?!? Things that make you go "Humm"... There is no doubt, our tap water has a smell - people visiting (from out of town) even noticed it. It's a city smell! Oh the joy of living in Smelly Pierrefonds!
