What is that wonderful smell?


Honeysuckle vine, blooming by the old shed. The fragrance described as "mouthwatering, sweet, fruity and warm, with hints of honey and ripe citrus."  Sounds like a nice dessert wine.

And our neighbor's bees agree.  Interesting, how they put their bee noses up at the equally heady fragrance of jasmine.  Tender jasmine isn't a native species, so perhaps not in their DNA like the seductive Honeysuckle.


"Juneuary" strikes again in Seattle with another wet, cool, gloomy Monday morning. We've had rain on 9 of the past 10 days, and each day since June 3 has been officially rated as "cloudy." Meaning 80% or more cloud cover during the day.
Uncle! 

But oh my, when the sun peeks out for an hour, it's blindingly bright so near the Solstice. There was a brief dry spell yesterday afternoon, so I weeded and John got a mow in before the rain returned last night.

Nothing much to say about the weekend, which was pretty much like the last 14 or so. Have we really been home that long? I was bored enough to put out a 750 puzzle from my sister, full of diabolically similar grey and blue pieces.
A moody lighthouse to match our weather.
