When I was a teenager, my sister and I would spend the summer off school sleeping on the covered porch on our house. It was high up off the ground, so it was kind of a deck, but it was under the parent’s bedroom. There is nothing like sleeping outside in the fresh air. My goal for next year is to have an outdoor bedroom. Here’s why:
The Iris is blooming. Oh, wow! Their sweet, sweet aroma just fills the garden. It’s absolutely intoxicating to walk outside in the morning and late afternoon. The blend of Iris, Peony, and Dame’s Rockets just makes a perfume I have never smelled in a bottle.
