Good morning!
It’s Tuesday, and that was honeysuckle I smelled. These buds had the extremely good manners to open right before midnight so that June could give them a good long sniff on her way out.
Now it’s July, with many more honeysuckle buds yet to open. I planted this vine right beneath our bedroom window so that we, too, could give it a sniff on our way to dreamland every night.

May we do much meditating this month.
Onwards,

This brings me right back to the honeysuckle that grew along the backyard fence in one of my childhood homes. I can see it clearly, all these many many years later. Scent memory is amazing!
I was wondering during my walk if yours had bloomed! Something sweet wafted to me while I was out this morning!
