The Lilacs are blooming!

Oh I just love the smell. Wish I could just give you smell-a-vision. I am sitting with the doors open and the aroma is flowing in with the breeze. I just love this time of year. I need to get out there an remove the winter ground cover. We had the lawn mowed so now to the beds. Oh the work has begun. this blog will explode now. I have a lot of new things to share.
Enjoy the Lilacs--- You can enlarge the second one for that closer view.

Honeysuckle - Ah the Smell......

While in Virginia I came across the Smell of Honeysuckle. That smell is one that you do not forget. Ones memories are triggered and off to memory-ville goes the thoughts. As a child, my Grandmother had it in her yard. I would pick it and take it in the house. The smell reminded me of that time. The search was on. We were at the beach...walking back on a boardwalk...stopping to use the outhouse. I was waiting for everyone to return...When the wind blew.... the nose got its' first whiff. I started to look around and there in the thick was a bounty of Honeysuckle. Camera in hand and the shutter clicking and zooming in to get that shot to take back the memory of that smell. Well, no Smell-o-vision available in this time period. Maybe soon, until then you can light a Honeysuckle candle, spray some honeysuckle in the air or rub on honeysuckle lotion and view these photos.
