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

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!

Late Spring at the Lake


Last week I hurried to get everything on the ground, including herbs and flowers.  This year everything is red.  I find combining the herbs with the flowers makes a pretty display on the deck.  The path down to the dock is a beautiful sight, quite different from just a couple of weeks ago.






Trying to grow mint on a pot, let's see what happens...


lemon balm


cilantro and thai basil


oregano back from last year!


chives, rosemary and basil


lavender


 impatients
tarragon and parsley




the path to the lake


Lucy's favorite stop, the ferns!


my new toy, Pawley's Island swing!


wild flowers, sort of...


beautiful sky, no?

 
I'm from Florida!...just visiting.....
