Obviously you were a storyteller even then because you believed in the power of your own story. Too funny. Kids would love that tale--as would adults.<br /><br />I wonder, Rowan, if there s a way to capture the scent of honeyscukle? That's something to look for because it is certainly blooming in profusion right now. Although we're not enjoying the scent as much as we might because of all the rain.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-33480281321446495572009-06-05T01:57:57.497-04:002009-06-05T01:57:57.497-04:00I've always loved honeysuckle both the scent a...I've always loved honeysuckle both the scent and the flower. It's still called woodbine over here - Shakespeare mentions it, Titania's bower was 'o'er canopied with lush woodbine'. I enjoyed your story, heather grows in great abundance on the moors near here and is a wonderful sight when it flowers in the late summer.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-57207631164046101762009-06-04T23:57:54.788-04:002009-06-04T23:57:54.788-04:00When I was little, we had a honeysuckle bush growi...When I was little, we had a honeysuckle bush growing on the fence in our yard. My friend Cory and I mixed water, poison ivy, and honeysuckles together and convinced ourselves that the combination was lethal. We then put the mixture into water bottles and we had deadly water guns. Somehow Cory ended up spraying me with his and he spent the next ten minutes calming me down and convincing me that I was not going to die. Funny the things kids will believe.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10459150063427239709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-42618065067256434562009-06-03T17:57:45.926-04:002009-06-03T17:57:45.926-04:00Nothing smells as good as honeysuckle-like Becky I...Nothing smells as good as honeysuckle-like Becky I have to stop and sniff a while!<br /><br />Your garden is looking great!Tipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714281090985487356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-73856491568134629282009-06-03T15:47:10.845-04:002009-06-03T15:47:10.845-04:00Love this post, Granny Sue!

Such neat info about it - thanks for the good read. Only wish it would grow up here. I'm stuck with Rugosa and Day Lillies for perennials!

I'm going to copy this info about honeysuckle and might incorporate it into my MG about the family treasure. If you remember honeysuckle plays a big part in the story. My grandpa had honeysuckle growing down the path to his house, I remember the sweet fragrance.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-5262161668310167212009-06-03T06:20:31.202-04:002009-06-03T06:20:31.202-04:00Wow, what memories this brings back!

My mother used to have a wall covered in honeysuckle and yes, the girls would all hang around it pulling off flowers to taste!<br /><br />'Hectic' used to refer to consumption/tuberculosis and the fevers it brought, or just fever itself.Susan at Stony Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385202649291774852noreply@blogger.com
