The air has
been heavy these past few days and nights keeping the fragrance of the spring
blossoms low and close.
In the cool
mornings, as I step out I am greeted by the romantic fragrance of the roses
surrounding our house.
Most especially fragrant is the Memorial Day rose.
This
year, all of the rose bushes are blooming in such abundance as if it were their
last song – giving it their all.
Even after
a light rain – the moist, clean air mingles the fragrances to an incomparable
perfume.
Most especially
at night – does the fragrance of the Honeysuckle seem hauntingly sweet – these all
tempt one to remain outdoors both day and night.
I wish we
used our sleeping porch – as it was meant to – to open all the surrounding
windows to sleep in slumber that is enhanced by the gentle fragrance of the
night. Perhaps one day.
Until then,
I bring indoors a few of the blossoms to add fragance to the rooms of our homes
– this bouquet is set near the door that when one enters one would think they
were still outdoors in the mingled fragrance of the rose and the honeysuckle.
