Honeysuckle Rose




Every honey bee fills with jealousy

When they see you out with me

I don't blame them

Goodness knows

Honeysuckle rose



When you're passin' by,

Flowers droop and sigh

I know the reason why

You're much sweeter

Goodness knows

Honeysuckle rose



Well, don't buy sugar

You just have to touch my cup

You're my sugar

And it's oh so sweet when you stir it up



When I'm takin' sips

From your tasty lips

Seems the honey fairly drips

You're confection

Goodness knows

Honeysuckle rose



Well, don't buy sugar

You just have to touch my cup

You're my sugar

And it's oh so sweet when you stir it up



When I'm takin' sips

From your tasty lips

Seems the honey fairly drips

You're confection

Goodness knows

Honeysuckle rose

                                - Fats Waller.

Miski the Westie as Honeysuckle Rose!

and Honeysuckle the cow

Ooops, wait...and a champion Longhorn, TR Honeysuckle Rose!

(I think I need to get out of the lake for a few days....)


While my northern friends are basking in lilacs and peonies, which I love and sorely miss, we here in the South are enjoying  honeysuckle and honeysuckle rose.   I'm so surprised to see both blooming in great profusion at the lake.  I must say honeysuckle and pines are a rare combination, at least for this city girl!
