Sweet smells

Today was the first day of the sweet smells of spring. Wild roses, honey suckle, fescue, white,crimson, and purple clovers, privet, sweet peas, everything blooming and smelling like perfume, only I hate the smell of bottled perfume, so fake, compared to the real thing. Grass and every plant is growing now that the nights are warm, I can tell a big difference in the last week, you can almost see them growing. The air is still fresh, not so humid, yet. The mysterious vine in an earlier post has been identified by Alice as crossvine. The Market bulletin has an article on the vine, it is a Georgia native. Spun a few skeins of the lime green-blue Sunshine roving, very nice, I don't usually spin a two ply, mostly thick singles.  Should make great sock or sweater yarn.
