This week Michelle asks that we share a photo that says “Good Morning!” Luckily I have a few that I hope you’ll enjoy.

Photographed on an early morning walk.

Taken a couple of minutes later.

Morning two days later.

Hurricane Flossie was approaching.

I’m grateful that we did not get those strong winds.

Scent of a Garden (Mine Actually) ²

Scents bring memories, and many memories bring nostalgic pleasure. We would be wise to plan for this when we plant a garden. —- Thalassa Cruso

This week Ese’s Shoot and Quote Challenge is scent. I immediately thought of my garden, but I needed the perfect quote and photos. I found the quote fairly easily since I know the smell of my garden reminds me of helping my dad in the garden when I was younger. I especially remember the smell of fresh vine ripened tomatoes. I should since my brothers and I seemed to spend all summer picking them. I’m so grateful that my dad had a garden and that he made sure all of his kids helped with it.

Now I just needed to capture the scent or more accurately scents.
