The linden trees around my neighborhood are blooming! I wonder how I could not notice them there the previous years. There is even one right across the street from my home!
Their blooms are pretty and so fragrant. Bees really enjoy them. And so do I!
Blooming linden brings so many wonderful childhood memories. Each summer my girlfriends and I collected it for tea. We climbed on the trees with baskets or paper bags to collect it. We used fresh blooms to make tea and also dried some for winter use.
I will always remember those fun summer days.
