EUCALYPTUS, JASMINE, CALENDULA...OH MY!

Due to road construction I have been driving home a different way than normal. Its such a slower paced from my usual route. It has been so breezy and cool lately that I drive everywhere with my windows down its such a free feeling to have wind rearranging your hair. There is one particular part of this drive that is breathtaking and for some reason traffic is always backed up there. There is a faint smell of roses, although I do not remember seeing any roses I know their petals are velvety and smooth. A stronger scent of eucalyptus drifts in and out of my windows...coming and going like waves on a sandy shore. Then there's a breath of a mystery fragrance - I think it's jasmine or calendula. Actually I don't know what a calendula smells like or if even a plant but it sounds sweet I think. There are huge trees all around their timeless branches hugging the road overhead. Some of the trees have seed like blossoms that are wafting through the breeze. Their blossoms dripping like honey off a comb. I look around with admiration of this cascading beauty from the trees. Oh, if only I were a calendula!!!
