ODORAMA

The hot weather has gotten us quickly into citrus blossom time.

The air is redolent.

It brings back old memories--a mock orange bush in the back yard of the first house I lived in.

I used to stick my little head into the bush and 'dream' of being someplace where the real oranges grow.

Well, a boyhood dream is realized.

I have to say that, while it is wonderful, there are two downsides. The first is that the air is also filled with pollen. Sniff.

The second is that the air is also filled with bees! A dangerous time.

Every gift horse has its mouth.
