Ginkgo blooming?
Riding the motorcycle Saturday evening I smelled ginkgo quite
distinctly several times. Is is blooming? Incidentally, I *like* the smell. It's got a rank sort of primitive-jungle feel to it ;-) Of course, I also like the smell of boxwood! - Susan |

When I was a child, we had a huge boxwood(s) that was basically a 'grove' of trees (from child-perspective - but they were a good 8-10 feet tall). We used to climb in them, and called them 'tick trees' because we always seemed to get ticks after climbing in them. I used to think ticks grew in the cups of the young leaves. Funny childhood fancies! Anyway, that's where I grew to love the smell, I suppose. (Also like motorcycle rides, but been too long for me) For me, too, but I'm just getting back into it. Maybe I'll get confident enough to offer you a ride sometime. - Susan |

I think there is a rule if you are 40+ climbing tree's just isn't right. Jo |

I don't know if I want to be potentially responsible for orphaning an infant! Maybe by then my confidence level will be much improved. It's pretty good now, but my husband still looks so worried every time I get on the bike that it undermines my confidence a bit ;-) not that I can climb a tree anymore. I think there is a rule if you are 40+ climbing tree's just isn't right. Not fair to the tree, at any rate! ;-) - Susan |
