All summer The Source and I have been buying Oriental Lilies and placing them on the side table next to the front door. I've read enough home decor magazines and Martha Stewart to know that fresh flowers are always a plus in the home, but for some reason I think that is only possible when one has a ginormous garden. Then it is much easier to go out each day and pick a fresh bouquet. But the small bunch of lilies we get at our Fresh & Easy is inexpensive and worth the cost. It's not just the beautiful flower itself that I love but the wonderful fragrance it has. Most mornings I forget we even have them until I brush past the door and am immediately hit with a fresh waft of that scent. It's so yummy your mouth waters and you can't help but feel delicious all over.
So I've decided that when I am independently wealthy I am going to go live in a small country cottage and plant unhealthy amounts of Oriental Lilies. Of course, I'll have such a large acreage that I will have separate gardens for a hundred flowers, but the Lilies will definitely be next to my front door. Then anyone who visits me will be overpowered with their smell and all who enter my cottage will be delightful and happy because they won't be able to help it. Something smells good, so why be grouchy?
