It looks like rain and smells like heaven...

It is cloudy and overcast today.

I wish it would rain.

Because then I might be justified to

buy this... or this...

or this!!

The beautiful umbrellas make me smile and I'd like one.

And for the life of me I can't remember where I found these!

And the sweetest smell lingers in the air this time of year.

Orange blossoms!

Next to lilacs it might the best fragrance to tickle my nose.

And in all honesty - we have so much of this smell around here

that the orange blossoms are a welcome diversion.

This is a photo by The Pioneer Woman

Her photography of life on a cattle ranch and the food she sets

on the table will make you want to pack your bags

and move in with her. At least it does for me!

Pardon that disruption.

I was talking about umbrellas

and orange blossoms ~

both of which make me happy.

I'm headed outside to watch for my beautiful boys to come bounding home from school.

While I'm waiting I'll drink in the dizzying scent of orange blossoms and impending rain.
