Welcome to a day in wonderful Middle Tennessee. The recent rains have produced a cleaner air to the area, and you can't go anywhere in nature without smelling the wonderful scent of the plant above, the almighty Honeysuckle.
As I was walking Applesauce yesterday on the city Greenway, I noticed that God has provided us with a natural fragrance for every season. The season we're in right now (Spring although its really summer) is frangranced by honeysuckle, and soon we'll be going into the smell of grass. Yeah I said it, grass. My olfactory senses go crazy in the summer when I pass a field. I love it though, its such an alive scent.
Also coming up soon will be the smell of a garden which I truly love. The smell of cucumber, tomato and okra plants all send me to a place where the only thing that should fear anything is my handy peeler. And the best of all is the eatin', and the eatin' is good as my lovely Grannie Miller would say.
I wish I could send you all a basket of cucumbers and squash, Lord knows they grow quicker than weeds at the height of the season.
But for now I will enjoy the smell of the blooming honeysuckle plants that sit on our property line and think about the upcoming olfactory circus that lies ahead.
What's the scent in your neck of the woods at the moment?

I discovered honeysuckle growing in my garden last week. I guess the birds decided that I needed some. I decided to leave it there, unlike the thistle that they decided I needed also. :)
