My wonderful sister-in-law Lizzie took this photo. She is also a lover of the sweet pea. Anytime I smell them I am immediately transported back in time. When I was a little girl my Grandma Johnson would line the concrete cinder block fence in her backyard with sweet peas. She had what seemed like to me miles of them covering her fence when they were in bloom. In reality they probably covered a 10 foot width and went up and over the 7 foot fence. All I know is there there were enough of them to completely immerse your sense of smell. The blooms were so sweet with fragrance being in her back yard was heady feeling. So whenever I see them today, I can't help but bend down and inhale their scent.
