July Scent

I have long enjoyed a good cup of Jasmine tea. Especially the fun kind that is rolled up into little balls along with green tea leaves.

Also in Russia I have enjoyed a beautifully fragrant, flowering bush growing all around apartment buildings in different cities. The delicate white blossoms remind me of tea. And no wonder! They are jasmine bushes.

So it has been a special treat to attempt to grow a little jasmine bush of our own since it was given us last year. The pot comes in to a window sill in the winter, but still our tiny "bush" has not been very happy.

Until this summer! 

July evenings were so fragrant on our deck!
