I just arrived in from a beautiful morning walk.
Some folks call these weeds, I call them wildflowers.
I have lived in the country now for 10 years. One thing that I have noticed is plants that are colored alike seem to come into season at the same time. Just last month the wild flowers were all in shades of purple. Today was a white type of day.
Wild Roses – Smell so sweet!
Oxeye Daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum)
Honeysuckle
One night I went out for a breath of fresh air and stopped in my tracks as I thought I was smelling a beautiful floral perfume. But it wasn’t a perfectly bottled natural perfume. It was the sweet aroma hanging in the air as the temperatures dropped from the night-time sky.
Life on the farm. I treasure it.

Don’t you love all the scents when in the country?! We’ve been in the country for almost 14 years now, we have multi-flora roses everywhere and they do smell wonderful, the goats and deer love them! We have some daisies here but no honeysuckle here I don’t think, when we step outside our door we get a whiff of our Korean lilacs which have smelled wonderful this time of year!

Amy, yes, I do love the scents! Korean lilacs smell so gorgeous!
Mary, Yes, they do!
I agree with you, Mary. The smell of honeysuckle will stop me dead in my tracks. I love living in the country!
What I love, Becky, is how the air smells different as the season changes. I sometimes sit with my eyes closed, trying to absorb the scents (especially early evening or morning).
