Honeysuckle

How many of you used to pull apart a honeysuckle flower and suck it when you were little? While I was scrubbing the bathroom today, he brought me this glass of honeysuckle he picked in the backyard. I decided to put it right there on the counter. As I went up tonight, it had actually smelled up the room with its fragrance.
It brings back childhood memories. My best friend when I was young had one in her yard, and I can picture her, her sister, and me picking it and tasting it. I believe my grandmother (dad's mom) also had some in her yard, at least, that is a memory that came to mind from the smell.
Does the smell of honeysuckle remind you of anything from childhood?

  2. I saw some honeysuckle yesterday and immediately thought of some we had in our yard when I was little. I remember my dad letting me taste it, but most of all I remember the smell. Ours was beside the driveway and I would smell it every morning when I got on the bus!
