Sweet Smell of the Days to Come
Have you ever taken the time to just sit and smell? Now is the time.
Oh you could have allergies but just sit and smell....The fruit trees have been blooming for a few days. Water has filled the canals and some are irrigating the wind blown fields. Farmers are tilling the soil, uplifting composted matter that will nourish their bounty. Folks in town are mowing the tufted snow laiden grass in their yards. Tulips are popping up among the fallen forgotten leaves... Lilacs fill the air...
Just take time to sit and smell...Close your eyes...and remember a time when we didn't look at our watches. We didn't watch TV after the news was over...And we took time to sit and smell...
The smells of this time of year reminds us of the days to come. The harvest from our gardens and from the orchards. The sweet smells are converted to the sweet tastes of Cherries, Peaches and Apples and crisp crunch of Sweet Corn not to mention the smell of a Red Ripe Tomato picked in the hot summer sun.
It's not too late, Take time to just sit and smell...We are truely blessed living in such a great valley...
That is why it was called the " Treasure Valley"!
