Honeysuckle

Oh, the sweet smell of honeysuckle. I love it! I have a honeysuckle vine on the side of my garage and it is completely filled with sweet smelling flowers.
Every time I walk outside I am overtaken with the smell of honeysuckle. Mmmmmm it is one of the few pleasures of having flowers in your yard - a sweet smell. Any type of pollution or yucky smell around me are gone and I have a very fragrant place to enjoy the beauties of this earth. I think that is why I love flowers - beauty and smell. Heavenly Father sure has given us a wondrous earth to live on!

This is the look of my garage from the patio. The honeysuckle vine takes up the whole side. It is breath taking along with the sweet smell.
The miniature rose bushes are covered with roses. Beautiful!
As I drive around, it seems the wet spring we have had did wonders with every rose bushes I see. Every where I go, rose bushes are covered with roses.
The peonies are also very fragrant and blooming like mad.
Flowers make me happy! Fragrant and beauty in one. Yes, Heavenly Father has created a beautiful earth because he loves us! I see it in every flower - His love for me!

We need to trim our bush back.. They grow so big.. but seriously.. I could have it all OVER my yard.. I love it so much.

I'm not sure if ID has been like UT, but we have had more rain, humidity and way cooler temps than normal. My flowers are loving life.. They are blooming like crazy! I LOVE it!!

I love your yard! I also love your garden gnomes. I wanted some but my hubby thought I'd lost my mind. It looks like you are a master gardener.

Your flowers and yard are gorgeous !

When I was out playing in the neighborhood with friends, we used to actually eat honeysuckle flowers ( after inspecting them for insects )and they were a nice little snack while we were playing in the neighborhood !
