This morning as soon as I stepped out the door, a delightful fragrance hit me. Oh, my! I glanced at the wisteria...nope, it had faded. Then I checked the jasmine...nope, there were only a few blooms still on the vines. The citrus trees?...again blooms were long gone. I followed the scent to find that the two gardenia bushes were in full bloom! Oh, my! Well, there was nothing else to do but go gather a large bouquet of the snow white blooms.
After poking the gardenia blooms (and a single gloriosa lily broken by the wind) into a vase, I breathed deeply and thought how that scent was almost intoxicating. I headed back outside to pick the tomatoes and boysenberries before the sun made it unbearable to be in the gardens. The aroma of the gardenias filled the entire yard making the work quite pleasant! Once I was back inside, the house was filled with the same scent! Glorious! The Little Bayou House has never smelled so good! Happiness in a vase!
