Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?
In a world that is spiraling down the toilet ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time. It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same. (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix. Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there. When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it!

My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust.

We have a big wooden planter that like so much (except for how heavy it is! lol) that we put a big Rio Dipladenia in every year that has this cool banana leaf in the middle and the flowers off on that thing are amazing. It lasts well into the late autumn and is so easy to care for. I'm thinking of doing a few smaller pots by the sticker bush, more in the back where they can stand taller and make a nice border. And last year I did not do our little bridge with the 3 mini-size openings but plan to this year. We buy the 3 - 4 inch containers and use some food flower and they bloom like crazy for the whole summer. Then when it's over, into the field they go and I recycle the little containers they come in.
