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.

It's not hillbilly, honey, it's a heavenly scent and taste! I have been sipping honeysuckle ever since we moved to the DC area (from New York City). Mmmmm - floral goodness. Even better than the taste and smell of the violets that bloom up here in April.
