You can take the girl out of the country...

I still remember my first experience with honeysuckle. We were out at my grandparents', and I found some, and my father showed me how to suck the nectar out.

On one of the paths on campus that I walk almost every day, recently I noticed a very familiar smell. Sure enough, I looked and found some honeysuckle.

I couldn't help myself. I broke off the ends, pulled out the pistils and sucked the nectar.

If anyone saw me, it probably looked so hillbilly, but I didn't care. Honeysuckle is too hard to come by.

Some of my first memories involve walking down dusty country roads near my home or in Minor Hill with my dad or my uncle or my Bapa and stopping to pick the honeysuckle to smell and taste. Now I'm going to have to see if I can find a honeysuckle essential oil to use as a fragrance. With Bapa so ill and all, it would make a really nice tribute.

Please let people know if you find a good honeysuckle essential oil - the closest fragrance I can find is Jessica McLintock [sp?], and that is not quite the same...
