A good while back I did a post about how everyone should have a special place to go to , to think and relax after work each day. We have developed several little special places around our home that my wife and I visit every evening befor dusk just to enjoy nature and the quiet. We have a long fence outside our bedroom that is litterally covered in a big variety of blooming vines all of which emit enchanting fragrances that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and at dusk our very favorite ...the Hawk moths come out during the hottest part of our central Texas summers to savor the nector these flolwers produce.
Talk about an experience involving all the sensors....this is one! These moths are about the size of a small hummingbird . They are not spooked very easily and you can almost touch them . And sometimes if you are lucky to get close enough, you can hear their little wings making a helicopter sound and occasionally they will brush your face. The fragrance of some of these tropical vines is extraordinary both for humans and God's little miracles that feed on them. So all of this going on at once is better than satellite TV any day in our book!
Take time to smell the roses and enjoy you special place!
