orange ya glad you live in arizona!

Sometimes it's the tiny little things in life that bring the most joy.

I always get so excited when the trees let us know that spring is kicking into high gear. Every year around this time buds begin to appear, & within a day or two these delicate pods begin to open up into beautiful little ivory flowers. And even if you suffer from seasonal allergy's like I do and you want to bury your head in the sand & ignore the seasonal shift, orange trees let you know their intentions by perfuming the air with an intoxicating fragrance of orange blossoms. It's literally the most delightful & luxurious smell I can think of, it's much closer to honeysuckle than orange. And growing up in the south where honeysuckle is EVERYWHERE I love Love, L-O-V-E it! And if the scent drives me crazy in the best of ways, I can only wonder what it does to bees! {bzzzz}

In this crazy fast paced world we live in I think it's important to step back & breathe in the things that mother nature gives us, no questions asked! So today, when you drive by a grove of orange trees, roll down your window & enjoy... or better yet take a walk this evening just for the purpose of finding some trees to roam around!
