honeysuckle.

do you know what that is?
that cool weed that when the flower is pulled out, makes a ever so tiny drop of honey.
you can eat it.
if you want to.
there used to be a honeysuckle bush on the back corner of our field at gradeschool.
my friend, dinah, taught me how to eat them.
forgot all about it.
then i picked anne up from school one day and she said.
UH MOM DO YOU THINK HONEYSUCKLE HAS POISON ON IT? I ATE SOME, AND NOW I"M WORRIED I MIGHT DIE!?
uh. what?
WHAT?
she proceeded to explain that sometimes daddy puts 'poison' on things and then we can't go outside. ;)
and maybe the custodian did it too.
quick education on why  not to eat berries/leaves etc off of bushes proceeded with a quick prayer and headed home.
fast forward memorial day weekend...
anne comes barreling toward me.
THERE IS A HONEYSUCKLE BUSH HERE THERE IS A HONEYSUCKLE BUSH CAN WE EAT IT CAN WE?????

sure. what the heck! (i'm sure pawpaw doesn't spray...RIGHT?!)

so away we went.
had to even teach mee-maw a few things about the proper removal and licking of a honeysuckle flower! :)
what fun.
awesome smell.
awesome memories.
just awesome.
forgot how awesome honeysuckle is!
