Good smells are in the air

The honeysuckle and the jasmine are competing for their fragrances right now.  Walk out onto our front porch, and the scent of the jasmine just surrounds you.  Walk out into our backyard, and the fragrance of the honeysuckle is just everywhere.  It's the last year for both of them.  The honeysuckle - which figured into our Easter egg hunts for those light yellow plastic eggs.  PERFECT hiding place for those eggs.  Then there's the jasmine - which is where cardinals made nests every single year.  For some reason, they did not make a nest in there this year.  Next fragrant thing to bloom will be the Mimosa trees.
I think that is going to be a requirement for our next house - we will definitely need to plant some honeysuckle and some jasmine.

  1. The instinctual urge to grab every single one of those flowers and pull through that honey will never go away.
