Smells of Spring

The past few evenings when I returned home I'd get out of my car and notice an odor. I couldn't place it. I knew I'd smelled the fragrance before but I couldn't remember where or what the association was.

One morning, I stepped out of the house and it hit me--both the fragrance and the memory of what it was.

Jasmine

Jasmine is growing on the fence between our house and the school yard. I wonder who planted it so many years ago. I hadn't noticed it before because our neighbors park their car by the fence so I don't walk over to that part of the driveway.
