Looking at your photos, I can imagine the scent...Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-49341416267194467762011-01-05T23:44:31.815+11:002011-01-05T23:44:31.815+11:00Sounds and looks like a wonderful garden....it is ...Sounds and looks like a wonderful garden....it is great that you are taking time "To smell the roses"Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622919657309096651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-52102114177252045022011-01-05T19:24:19.169+11:002011-01-05T19:24:19.169+11:00I'm looking forward to seeing what you have pl...I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned for the next BOM - Happy New Year to you.<br />Oh you could just close you eyes imagine the warmth and scents if you tried real hard - lavender, lime blossom and lilac - yes please.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386852386404591819noreply@blogger.com
