It smells so great in May...

Multiflora roses (Rosa multiflora)

...the flowers are really beginning to come out. And smell delicious. Those Multiflora roses are quite fragrant, and there are enormous bushes just covered with them. Pat and I went for a long ride yesterday (Sat., 5.8.10) and they were everywhere. Soon the honeysuckle (my true favorite) will be out in force and everything else will fade into the background. But right now it's worth it just for these roses. 


Speaking of things it's worth it for, just look at the way that river looked this morning. I had to rub my eyes and look twice; I could hardly even believe it was that spectacular. What a Mother's Day!
