Marigolds

Summers were spent waiting for the Marigolds to die so that we could sprinkle their seeds in the grass :) 

Sense Memory...
was something I learned in acting class. It was a skill to use if you wanted to get yourself back to a time in your life that reminds you of what your character needed now. 

My "character" now needs the summers of my youth! 

Just as Uta Hagen used roses to bring herself back to her past...

I bought these flowers from Trader Joe's :)))

The smell of Marigolds are wafting in my kitchen! Brings me right back to bending on skinned knees in the dirt to pick em. 

Today, what is your fondest summer memory from childhood? Any chance of scooping it up and having it an vase for you to enJOY?!
