may 23, 2011--so summery!

This was fun to do. I'm taking these snippings to a friend in a nursing home tonight. They are all fragrant things that he will enjoy. Old-fashioned vining petunia, white "Gardenia" rose, honeysuckle, fennel, Vietnamese coriander, basil, sweet Annie, scented geranium. At the moment, there are also a couple of parsley sprigs included--but they'll be eaten by dinnertime! I love this bright contrasty light, because it is so summery (and it feels summery outside right now).  It's also revealing to see the grapevine and trumpet vine coming up outside the window. Such fast-growing weeds---that's summery, too!
