Stumbled over this word via Twitter … love this … and love that smell …
Word of the (heatwave) day: "petrichor" - the fresh, rich smell that accompanies rain when it falls on dry earth after a long period of hot weather (from the Greek πέτρα/petra, "stone" & ἰχώρ/īchōr, "divine fluid"), first coined in 1964 in Nature. pic.twitter.com/KG5OUdqcEa

… and stumbled over Hannah while searching for the tweet again (books, music, curious etc .. so following now)
