Summer is coming. I love spring but these hot days right before its unbearable are in my favorite as well. I have planted gardenia bushes all around my house. This time of year is when they really bloom. Every time I take a step outside I am overwhelmed by the beauty of them. I laughed hard today as I realized "Hagatha" the old lady in me was coming out as I scolded my son for picking my gorgeous blooms. I have to remember that he likes the way they smell as much as I do and just wants to indulge in their sweet aroma. It's just that he hasn't quite gotten the concept of just picking them and giving them to his mother. Instead he spits them into my hand after failed attempts to eat them and realizing once again he isn't fond of the taste. Pity really.
