Summer Breezes

The other night, I went outside, when everyone else was asleep. My three boys were snoring contentedly together, a jumble of limbs.  The neighbours had turned off their 4BC and staggered into bed.
It was most enchanting.
All was hushed. I heard whispering leaves, crickets and a lonely car driving past in the distance.
I felt the breeze blowing on my face and hair.
I was filled by the sight of the moon, glowing like a luminous pearl between the silhoutted leaves and branches.
And I smelt the most beautiful balmy summer perfume. It was delicious!


I went out the next day to discover the magic ingredients of that perfumed breeze. If you're a subtropical dweller, you can probably give a good guess...



Frangipani,


Jasmine,


and "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow".


Now if only I could bottle that up, I think I'd be rich....

What does your breeze smell like?

(And no funny business, Tamara!)
