"And because the breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air (whence it comes and goes, like the warbling of music) than in the hand, therefore nothing is more fit for that delight, than to know what be the flowers and plants that do best perfume the air."
From Of Gardens by Sir Francis Bacon 1561-1626
The older I get the more I love Spring. I found a book that I've had for a long time but couldn't remember where I had put it. It's called "The Fragrant Garden" Edited by Sheila Pickles. It is full of poetry and prose about spring and flowers. And it's aromatherapeutic, it smells really pretty! I am still working on my felted bunny project and will have more pictures later. But for right now I thought it would be nice to show off these lovely flowers growing around my house. I know it is such a cliche but I don't think enough people stop to look at the simple beauty around them. If you don't look, you'll never see it! Have a really wonderful day. Cassie
