Orange Blossoms in the air....

A nice Saturday morning so I went for a short walk. After one errand... (yesterday the indicator on the fridge to replace the filters started to blink... already time to replace)... the plans are to relax outside. The garden may be off limits. Why?

This tiny... maybe 6 inches from nose to tail... baby bunny was hanging around the garden yesterday. Of course if he is still here or returns I do not want to scare him. He found a leaf to munch here and there. It is all I can do not to try to pet him! Every so often when I looked out the kitchen window, I would loose sight of him and then all of a sudden he appeared hopping along. I am still amazed that they are off on their own when so tiny. He is so small that I can not see his tail.
The other day my neighbor JoAnn stopped by with a few chocolates for me
from Cerreta's Candy, an Arizona company. She wanted to thank me for  all that I do (HOA) for the community. The company is in Glendale and they have tours and sell right there as well as distribute around the Valley. Nice to be appreciated. The chocolate covered pecan caramel turtle is delicious. They refer to it as Arizona Camelbacks after the mountain in Scottsdale. The soft caramels are good too.
Recently having the sliders and front door open, the fragrance of these orange blossoms fill the air in and out. No, I do not have any trees but my neighbor does. At one time brides wore them in their hair or in their bouquets. It represented purity and fruitfulness. It is the state flower of Florida. Here in Arizona we pick them in February and March.
Well, time for chores.... I had hoped for the Housework Faeries would be here... and then off to Home Depot for the filters. Hope that I can  easily replace them.... the delivery people installed them when they delivered the fridge and of course I did not pay attention. Most likely The Brother Alan did but he is not here. It states to replace every 6 months and right on time it is blinking. Glad you visited with me today. Thank you for your kind words and your friendship.

Hi Gracie: We have to replace our filters only once a year, in our last home we had to replace them every six months.
I love the little Bunny so sweet and to get a photo of it chewing a leaf.
I love chocolate I gave it up for Lent, it hurts so bad not to eat any.

Sweet little bunny
I bet those flowers fill the air with the most delightful scent, shame the screen isn't 'smellyvision'
