Intoxication
Spring is literally in the air. There’s a saying that April showers bring May flowers, and now, in mid-May, there are several trees in full bloom. There are some experiences about living here in the woods that I wish I could bottle up and send to you. Right now, that would be a bottle of the finest perfume, capturing the scents and aromas lingering around the entire property. With the trees and plants in bloom, the smell of sweet blossoms is perfectly overpowering. Even though most of these trees are several hundred yards away from the house, if you close your eyes and breathe in deeply, you would swear that someone was holding a flower right under your nose. My word for the air around my house and throughout the forest, right now: intoxicating.
