The Fragrance of Summer

Honeysuckle vines are blooming in my hedges, and it reminds me of my childhood. My younger sister and I would pull the flower off to reveal the stamen, and lick the honeysuckle nectar. But we made sure to avoid the honeysuckles that grew around the outhouse! 😬

The honeysuckles are blooming as are the privet hedges -- the combination has become a Summer fragrance for me.
