I was outside last night enjoying the perfumed air and the smoky sunset. With the lilacs and crab apple trees and apple tree in bloom the smell is intoxicating. Pink and white flower petals blanket the grass. Some petals fall into the chicken water. A great crested fly catcher is calling back and forth. A red squirrel scolds me from the oak tree. A ruby throated hummingbird flies by. Is it a hummingbird or a fairy? With all these pink and white blossoms scenting the air it must be a fairy because this scene sure looks like fairyland to me.
