Mom remembers summers so long ago

My youngest daughter wrote in her blog recently that she and a
childhood friend were remembering the smells of summer. It does
not seem so long ago to me and now just think all my children
have children of their own.I can remember the smells of summer,
children dirty and sweaty from getting into something I really
didn't want to know what it was. Loads of wild plums we picked
out in the woods, they ate as much as they picked.The wild
muscadines were so good and we always managed to find a huge bunch.
Summer always brings to mind the family who lived up the road
from us. They always had this huge garden, they were a sweet old
couple old enough to me my grandparents. They would always bring
huge sacks of food fresh out of the garden saying they had planted
too much and could I use it.Funny, all the time the children were
little they always planted too much.All those fresh vegetables
were so very good.I wonder if my children remember going to
the ole couples house to see the flower that only bloomed at
midnite????? There are many sweet smells of summer to remember.
