Take time to smell the flowers
Along lifeβs busy road
Their fragrance fills your senses
And lightens your heavy load

Flowers are companions
Like pups, our furry friends
Who give love unconditionally
No faking – no pretends

Flowers lift our spirits
In ways little else can do
Take time to smell the flowers
Iβm sending these to you

Take time …
See ya tomorrow

Thanks Jan. Unfortunately, a pulmonary condition has left me without a sense of smell (which can be a good thing sometimes!). It’s odd, though, how I can ‘imagine’ scents in my mind … like the pinks my dad grew in the garden (and his pipe smoke) and Coty L’aimont, the perfume my mum wore.
I love the picture of the dog sniffing the Sunflowers. π

My condolences. I lost my sense of smell temporarily a couple years ago. I think there are worse fates.

Thanks, Derrick. I know you and Jackie take time not just to smell the flowers, but to plant, cultivate, fertilize, and enjoy them in a multitude of ways… and you take time to enjoy Nugget and his/her song at the same time. Lucky you!! β€
