I can't imagine now why I went so long without them?? Maybe I needed to be blogging for inspiration?

It does have a lovely scent to it. Good for you to take a dip. Walking is good--not to mention exercise, it gives us time to think & wonder.<br />I know that new bundle of joy is a delight for all.

Of course I would have to put them in a pot so they would drain good {like now while we are having a rain problem}. I know it looks gross to have pots sitting everywhere but for me here it's the only way I know to keep my plants from drowning at times like these.

The cherries will not be there in the winter as the birds will strip in a couple of hours just before you get them if you do not keep a very careful watch on them.
