The orange blossoms are blooming! The trees and ground are covered in delicate white petals. It is all so gorgeous. But here's the bad news: I have been nursing a sinus infection for the past two weeks and I can't smell them. Boo. I'm going to let myself pout about it for one minute, if that's ok. Orange blossoms are my absolute most favorite smell and I am so sad that I am missing them this year.
But our wisteria almost makes up for it. You wouldn't guess that I live in the middle of the desert with all of those lush blossoms. The flowers don't last long, but they sure are pretty while they do.
Along with the orange blossoms and the pretty wisteria blooms, there have been some major closet clean outs, slip and sliding, and baby chick tending happening around here. Even though Spring marks the beginning of the end, sinus infection aside, so far this has been a good one.

Did you plant those wisteria? Are they hardy? I'm looking for something for the backyard. I just love your posts, Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteWisteria. Ah yes. We'll be planting this in our yard. I envision it growing over our (yet to be built) arbor in the front yard. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour wisteria always looks so lovely. And I hope your sinus infection gets better soon so you can enjoy the smell of the blossoms a little bit.

ReplyDeletei can almost smell those blooms through your photos. we had snow yesterday here in virginia; something that would have been welcomed at christmastime but in late march, i'm crabby about it. it just doesn't feel like easter with snow on the ground and bundled up in our winters still.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of orange blossoms literally made me salivate, I love that smell so much.
