Ok…because it has been so cold, I’ve decided I’m not going to mess around. I’m going to bring spring to those of us who are still suffering with winter and to encourage it for those of you (you know who you are…those of you who live in balmy cities like Miami, Phoenix, and San Diego) who are already enjoying it.

Yesterday’s flower was the lovely hibiscus.

Today’s flower is the orange blossom. I decided to throw in a picture of the oranges on the tree, too. And can I tell you that they were the sweetest oranges that I think I’ve ever tasted? It’s so much better when it comes from a tree that you know. Yum.

If you’ve never smelled an orange blossom, you’re missing out. It’s a refreshing, invigorating smell. It’s absolutely delightful.
