    Thought I Would Share...

    ...Thoughts on this time a year The orange trees are blooming, the scent that orange blossom gives off is like nothing I have smelled before. I wish this scent was bottled

    59* out now, doors and windows open, orange blossom permeating throughout the house, Daylight Saving Time on the horizon, raptors having babies (everything having babies), life is great

    In Ogden I had two Mock Orange trees. I loved the blooms. I can only imagine what a real orange tree in blossom smells like.

    The scent of orange blossoms is an aphrodisiac - I love living next to an orange grove!

    I have a Canadian red cherry in my back yard. I can't wait for it to blossom. It has a gorgeous smell.

    We're still buried in snow here.
    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

But, DMR (aka Purgatory) got 18" of fresh snow 3 days ago, so the skiers are still happy .

    Seriously, though - orange blossom scent is insanely intoxicating, isn't it? When I grew up in Tucson, we had two trees right next to the house. It was heavenly, and the trees were swarming with bees. I wouldn't want to live in FL (except maybe for a month in winter), but years ago I did go to Miami in Feb for a conference when I was living in Flagstaff - it was awesome. Sunny, warm, some time on the beach, and I got to eat Cuban food - woot!

    Sure the heck is, I wish this could be bottled One of the worse scents, maybe in the top five, when they are making the juice at the plant. They do something, I don't know if it's the rind, but the putrid odor that emits from the plants is horrible.

    i didn't know you had a feminine side.
    But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

    These libby's around here are so sensitive I think some of them really need a hug. Their moms must have lacked in that area
