You know ...I can recall the very pleasant smell of wild honeysuckle by just looking at a picture of it. We are fortunate enough to have several large stands of it growing through the trees just to the north of our home in Robertson County, Texas. For the last week or so we have had a crisp cool breeze early in the mornings gently blowing the intoxicating fragrance from these flowers towards our home. When you step outside early in the morning I have to say the combination of the cool breeze and the honeysuckle has simply got to be the closest thing to the Lord's breath in this world. It is so amazing.
Later in the day as we leave out our front gate for we enjoy a mixed blessing bouquet along the highway!
Have a prosperous week!
Trey
Those are grand! We have a hillside I would love to se those on. Will they last through a winter freeze?

You are right ..I am reminded every day when I get outside the house.

Maybe the honeysuckle. It has deep roots. I know you are supposed to scatter bluebonnetts in the fall and cold helps the seeds do what they do.

I hope I did this post right for contest. I missed out on the old churches contest. I am ready to go back to the hill country and eat pie!
Trey - I'm going out early tomorrow morning and will take a deep breath; however, with all the school bus traffic I'm afraid I will only smell diesel. When you go in the morning think of me.
Nice Post.

Have you ever stepped out side

Alexander,
That is another great smell ....just after it rains. So pleasing. His presence is all around us if you just look, listen, and smell . :o)
Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi Trey - I LOVE honeysuckle! I have a beautiful pink honeysuckle bush growing in my yard, and it's just so pretty. Of course being up here in NH, we have a little ways to go before our honeysuckle bushes bloom up here, but oh such a wonderful scent....
